Is it not appropriate to use circulating water to cool gases, given that gases have a relatively low specific heat? Is it better to use gas to cool another gas?
Water has a high specific heat, while gases have a low specific heat; therefore, a small amount of water is sufficient to cool the gas, making it suitable
If it’s a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, then cooling water is definitely the better choice
Then, is it appropriate to heat the gas with steam?

Steam is also suitable for heating gases, as it has a high latent heat.
Building a house starting from the trees leads to many unexpected problems
Our factory uses heaters that heat the air with steam
It seems like your post is a bit vague; I still can’t understand it
From an energy-saving perspective, if you want to cool a gas using circulating water, it is essentially an energy-consuming method. Using air forced through a heat exchanger is more energy-efficient (generally, existing fans are utilized along with additional piping for heat exchange)
