re. fuel/oil heat exchanger?

How does it work? A diagram posted here shows this heat exchanger in the path from the fuel tank to the engine. Does the engine rely on the fuel being warmed up at that point, and if so, is there an additional constraint due to the possibility (?) of the oil being cooled too much? Also what is the reason for the design asymmetry between the L and R fuel paths?
