This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model G12418L, is a highly efficient heat transfer device designed for liquid to liquid applications. With a nominal shell diameter of 12 inches, it is capable of handling high volumes of fluid. The heat exchanger features 4 tube passes, allowing for optimal heat transfer efficiency. The tube bundle length measures 108 inches, providing ample surface area for maximum heat exchange. The tubes themselves are made of copper with a size of 3/4 OD x .035 (20 Ga) wall thickness SB75 tubes. This material ensures excellent thermal conductivity and durability. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover, allowing for easy installation and maintenance. The tube plate is constructed from steel, providing strength and stability to the unit. Steel separators are also used in this heat exchanger to enhance the efficiency of heat transfer. With a working pressure of 150 psi, this Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger is suitable for various industrial applications where efficient liquid-to-liquid 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.
