This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model E12206S, is a single-heat exchanger designed to transfer heat between steam and liquid. With a nominal shell diameter of 12 inches, it features a two-pass configuration for efficient heat transfer. The tube bundle length measures 36 inches and is constructed using 316 stainless steel tubes with a size of 3/4 OD x .049 wall SA249 TP316, 18-gauge thickness. This ensures durability and resistance to corrosion. The heat transfer medium for this exchanger is steam to liquid. It has a connection type of channel - flanged - without cover, allowing for easy installation and maintenance. The tube plate material is grooved steel, providing enhanced heat transfer capabilities. The separators are made of steel, ensuring proper flow distribution within the exchanger. This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger has a working pressure rating of 150 psi, making it suitable for various industrial applications where efficient heat exchange 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.
