This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model G18420L, is a high-quality heat transfer device designed for liquid to liquid applications. With a nominal shell diameter of 18 inches, this heat exchanger features a 4-pass tube design, allowing for efficient heat transfer. The tube bundle length measures 120 inches, providing ample surface area for maximum heat exchange. The tubes are made of copper with a size of 3/4 OD x .035 (20 Ga) wall thickness, ensuring durability and optimal performance. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover, allowing for easy installation and maintenance. The tube plate material is steel, providing strength and stability to the heat exchanger. Steel separators are also included in the design to enhance heat transfer efficiency. With a working pressure of 150 psi, this heat exchanger can handle demanding applications with ease.
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.
