Heat exchanger is an important device which is used in thermal systems in many industrial fields. Nano fluids are recently employed as coolants to improve the efficacy of heat exchangers. Regarding unique characteristics of Nano fluids, research studies in this area have witnessed a remarkable growth. Latest investigations conducted on use of Nano fluids in heat exchangers including those carried out on plate heat exchangers, double pipe heat exchangers, shell and tube heat exchangers, and compact heat exchangers are reviews and summarized. Meanwhile, some very interesting aspects of Nano fluids in combination with heat exchangers are presented. The challenges and prospects for future research are presented in this paper.
