With a nominal shell diameter of 12 inches, this heat exchanger features a 2 pass tube design for enhanced performance. The tube bundle length measures 96 inches, allowing for ample surface area for heat exchange. The tubes are made of 304 stainless steel with a diameter of 3/4 inch and a wall thickness of .049 inch, meeting the standards of SA249 TP304 and measuring at 18 gauge. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover, providing easy access for maintenance. The tube plate is constructed from steel, ensuring durability and reliability. Additionally, the separators are made of steel to efficiently separate the steam and liquid phases. This heat exchanger operates at a working pressure of 150 psi, making it suitable for various applications requiring high pressure capabilities.
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.
