With a nominal shell diameter of 12 inches, this heat exchanger features a U-Tube design with extended shell (PK) option. It has two tube passes and a tube bundle length of 72 inches. The tubes are made of Cu/Ni 90/10 material with a diameter of 3/4 inches and a wall thickness of .049 inches. The tube plate is made of stainless steel (Type 304) while the separators are made of steel. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover. This heat exchanger can withstand a working pressure of up to 150 psi, making it suitable for various industrial applications requiring efficient heat transfer.
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.
