This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model G18412L, is a liquid to liquid heat exchanger designed for efficient heat transfer. With a nominal shell diameter of 18 inches, this heat exchanger is capable of handling large volumes of fluid. It features 4 passes, allowing for multiple opportunities for heat exchange. The tube bundle length is 72 inches, providing ample surface area for effective heat transfer. The tubes are made of double wall copper (smooth), measuring 3/4" in outer diameter and are constructed with SB75-C122 material. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover, ensuring secure and easy installation. The tube plates on the shell side are made of carbon steel, while the separators are made of steel for durability and longevity. This heat exchanger has a working pressure rating of 150 psi, making it suitable for various industrial applications where high pressures are involved.
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.
