Come on, if you ask a question like that you should be surprised Lyn's sarcasm was as restrained as it was!

Cooling the methanol and heating the water simultaneously is one possibility, though it's a bit difficult to see from here.

Nope. It's still too difficult to see the process from here. Maybe a P&ID and a local Process Engineer can help, perhaps?

Condensation, principally, as in a still. Welcome to the backwoods, buddy.

Not nearly as interesting a purpose as the Heat exchanger that uses Ethanol in Hot Side & Water in Cold Side!

Seriously, it's whatever it was spec'd for, & from here we can't tell if it's a condenser or a plate type unit or....
