Explain what you mean by use heat exchangers?
Yeah the term "heat exchanger" describes a lot of things.
Okay I pulled the radiator out of my truck buy I'm not sure where to connect it or how much coolant I need to pour in my printer.
You connect the radiator to the FAN1 plug, you might need to crimp the tube to a cable connector though.
Probably an ERV or HRV for ventilation.

Yep, it's basically a simple air-to-air heat exchanger. Applicable to any hobby that will generally put fine particulate matter into the air. Laser cutting, woodworking, etc. Generally an overall good thing to have for a shop.
It's essentially a heat/cooling recovery unit so you're not simply pumping your A/C out into the world and wasting energy. It allows you to swap the air in a room out, without losing its cool/heat by simply pumping in outside air. The video explains what he used.
