This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model G6406S, is designed for efficient heat transfer between steam and liquid mediums. With a nominal shell diameter of 6 inches, this heat exchanger features 4 tube passes and a tube bundle length of 36 inches. The tubes are made of copper, measuring 3/4 inch in outer diameter and .035 inches thick (20 gauge). The heat transfer medium flows through threaded connections, ensuring secure and reliable operation. The tube plate is constructed from stainless steel (Type 304), providing excellent corrosion resistance. Steel separators are used to maintain proper spacing between the tubes. This heat exchanger has a working pressure rating of 150 psi, making it suitable for various industrial 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.
