This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model E12216S, is a steam to liquid heat exchanger designed for efficient heat transfer. With a nominal shell diameter of 12 inches, it features a two-pass design for enhanced performance. The tube bundle length spans 96 inches and is made of 304 stainless steel tubes measuring 3/4 OD x .049 wall SA249 TP304 with 18 gauge thickness. The heat transfer medium flows through these tubes, allowing steam to transfer its heat to the liquid. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover, ensuring secure and convenient installation. The tube plate material is grooved 304 stainless steel, providing durability and resistance to corrosion. Steel separators are used in this heat exchanger to optimize efficiency. With a working pressure of 150 psi, this Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger offers reliable performance in various 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.
