Abstract: A high-efficiency heat exchanger adaptable for a heat exchange target fluid having high purity. A heat exchanger has a flow passage through which a heat exchange target fluid flows, and a heat transfer structure that is contacted with the heat exchange target fluid flowing through the flow passage, thus performing heat-transfer type heat exchange through a contact surface of the heat transfer structure with the heat exchange target fluid. The contact surface of the heat transfer structure with the heat exchange target fluid is made of a material stable against the heat exchange target fluid. The heat transfer structure includes heat conductors made of a material having a high thermal conductivity. The heat conductors are mounted near the contact surface of the heat transfer structure with the heat exchange target fluid at positions where the heat conductors are not contacted with the heat exchange target fluid.

Abstract: Image data in a specific data format is stored in an external storage device, whereas application software for display, editing, and printing of the image data in the specific data format is not stored in the external storage device but transmitted to an e-mail address of a user or to an IP address of a user's computer. This provides a digital multifunction printer which is capable of storing image data in a removable external storage device and which can store image data in the external storage device in such a manner that the image data is stored with a data format specific to the digital multifunction printer while the image data can be processed by other device without dropping security for the stored image data.
