Heat exchangers can be used for a wide variety of uses. As the name implies, these can be used for heating as well as cooling. The two primary types of marine heat exchangers used aboard vessels in the maritime industry are plate, and shell and tube. Maintenance for heat exchangers prevents fouling and galvanic corrosion from dissimilar metals.
A keel cooler is a type of internal combustion engine cooling system used in marine engines.. In this system, engine coolant is circulated through a system of tubing outside the vessel's hull, using the lower temperature of seawater to reduce the coolant temperature via heat exchange before it is recirculated through the engine.

Active heating and cooling uses an artificial heat source or sink to heat or remove excess heat from the diver. A diver can be kept in comfort and thermal equilibrium in a tubesuit garment while immersed in water from 10 to 40 °C (50 to 104 °F), using a flow of water at 30 °C (86 °F).
Cold ironing permits emergency equipment, refrigeration, cooling, heating, lighting and other equipment to receive continuous electrical power while the ship loads or unloads its cargo. Shorepower is a general term to describe supply of electric power to ships, small craft, aircraft and road vehicles while stationary.
A gasoline heater is a small gasoline-fueled space-heater.Fixed versions were originally used mainly for supplemental heat for passenger compartments of automobiles and aircraft, with the latter still in production.

The parcel's higher temperature causes it to transfer heat to the plate at constant pressure, cooling the gas. Adiabatic expansion of the gas. The gas is displaced back from the leftmost position to the rightmost position. Due to adiabatic expansion the gas cools to a temperature lower than that of the cold plate. Isobaric heat transfer.
Hot water can cause overheating of divers, and this can be difficult to prevent. Professional divers diving with surface-supplied equipment may use a flow of cooling water analogous to a hot water suit. Tropical water is the natural temperature of bodies of water in tropical regions, due to heating by the sun and cooling by wind.
