exchangers
Those who trade
Exchangers are devices or systems that transfer something between two streams or parties.
Heat exchangers move thermal energy between fluids without mixing them—common in air conditioning, engines, and industrial processes.
Ion exchangers swap ions between solutions, used in water softening and purification.
The term also applies to currency exchangers and other intermediaries facilitating trades: The heat exchangers in the building's HVAC system needed replacement.
