This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model E8218L, is a liquid to liquid heat exchanger designed for efficient heat transfer. With a nominal shell diameter of 8 inches, this heat exchanger features a double wall copper tube bundle measuring 108 inches in length and consisting of smooth tubes with a diameter of 3/4" OD, made from SB75-C122 material. The heat transfer medium flows through two passes within the tube bundle, maximizing the exchange of thermal energy. The connections are threaded for easy installation and maintenance. The tube plates on the shell side are constructed from 304SS, while the separators are made from naval brass. With a working pressure of 150 psi, this heat exchanger is capable of handling demanding applications.
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.
