I believe greg uses a CFC. Essentially its a block of squashed plates with water pumped through 1 end and out the other and the wort being pumped through the oposite way. They use them in combi boilers and loads of other things. I believe its 4 pipes - water in, water out and wort in, wort out.
Very efficient and fairly cheap, make sure you keep it nice and clean, if you dont clean straight after and/or dont brew for a while I bet it would be a bit of a bugger to clean properly - though I could be wrong!
