With a nominal shell diameter of 16 inches, it can handle a working pressure of 150 psi. The heat exchanger features a U-tube design with 2 tube passes and a tube bundle length of 96 inches. The tubes are made of Cu/Ni 90/10 material, measuring 3/4 inch in outer diameter and 0.049 inch in wall thickness (SB111-706, 18 Ga.). The channel connection type is flanged without a cover, while the tube plate and separators are constructed from steel. This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger is suitable for various industrial applications where efficient heat transfer is required.
Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers Overview
Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers are equipment used in HVAC systems and various industrial applications for the purpose of transferring heat between two fluids. These exchangers are composed of a large outer shell and an inner tube bundle. The arrangement allows one fluid to flow through the tubes while a second fluid circulates outside the tubes but within the shell. As they pass each other, heat exchange occurs, with the fluid inside the tubes either gaining or losing heat from the fluid in the shell. Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers are noted for their durable construction, effectiveness in heat transfer, and ease of maintenance, including the straightforward process of replacing the tube bundle.
