The present volume collects a total of 72 contributions which are presented to the International Sypmposium on Compact Heat Exchangers. Seven keynote lectures highlight important topics for the development of compact heat exchangers: heat transfer and accuracy of thermal measurements, single-phase heat transfer and flow vaporization in microchannels, micro heat pipes, numerical methods for, enhanced boiling heat transfer, compact polymer heat exchangers. The remaining 63 contributions, testufy to the enormous participation of the scuentific community and provide an excellent update in many aspects of compact heat exchangers: single-phase flow and heat transfer (fundamental studies, design data and methods), single and two-phase heat exchanger development and application, augmentation techniques, pressure drop, phase change heat transfer (fundamental studies, design and methods)
