This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model E20210S, is a single-heat exchanger designed to transfer heat between steam and liquid. With a nominal shell diameter of 20 inches, it features two tube passes for efficient heat transfer. The tube bundle length measures 60 inches, allowing for ample surface area contact. The tubes are made of Cu/Ni 90/10 material with a diameter of 3/4 inch and a wall thickness of .035 inches. These tubes are constructed with SB111-706 specifications and have a 20-gauge thickness. The heat transfer medium for this exchanger is specifically designed for steam to liquid applications. It utilizes a channel-flanged connection type without a cover for easy access and maintenance. The tube plate is made of steel, providing durability and stability to the unit. Additionally, the separators within the exchanger are also made of steel. This heat exchanger has a working pressure capacity of up to 150 psi, ensuring reliable performance under various operating conditions.
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.
