This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model G4404S, is a versatile and efficient heat transfer device designed for various industrial applications. With a nominal shell diameter of 4 inches, it offers a compact design that can easily fit into tight spaces. The heat exchanger features 4 tube passes, allowing for enhanced heat transfer efficiency. The tube bundle length is 24 inches, providing ample surface area for effective heat exchange. The tubes are made of SB-62 and 304 stainless steel, measuring 3/4 inch in outer diameter with a wall thickness of .049 inches. These tubes are constructed according to SA249 TP304 standards and have a thickness of 18 gauge.
The Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger is specifically designed for steam to liquid heat transfer applications. It efficiently transfers heat from steam to the liquid medium, ensuring optimal performance and energy efficiency. The connection type used in this heat exchanger is threaded connections, providing secure and leak-free connections between the components.
The tube plate material is made of grooved steel, which enhances the heat transfer performance by promoting turbulence within the tubes. This design feature maximizes the contact area between the tubes and the shell side fluid, resulting in improved overall efficiency.
Steel separators are utilized in this heat exchanger to ensure proper spacing between the tubes, preventing any contact or interference that may hinder performance or cause damage. These separators also facilitate easy maintenance and cleaning.
Operating at a working pressure of 150 psi, this Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger is built to withstand demanding industrial conditions while maintaining reliable performance. Its robust construction and high-quality materials make it a durable choice for various applications requiring efficient heat transfer capabilities.
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.
