This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model E20216S, is designed to efficiently transfer heat between steam and liquid mediums. With a nominal shell diameter of 20 inches and two tube passes, this heat exchanger provides ample surface area for effective heat transfer. The copper tubes measure 3/4 OD x .049 (18 Ga) wall thickness and are made of SB75 material. The tube bundle length is 96 inches, ensuring sufficient contact time for optimal heat exchange. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover, providing easy access for maintenance and inspection. The tube plate and separators are both constructed from steel, ensuring durability and longevity. This heat exchanger is designed to operate at a working pressure of 150 psi.
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.
