This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model G12406L, is a liquid to liquid heat exchanger designed for efficient heat transfer. With a nominal shell diameter of 12 inches and four tube passes, it provides ample surface area for effective heat exchange. The tube bundle length measures 36 inches, allowing for extended contact time between the heat transfer mediums. The tubes are made of Cu/Ni 90/10 material with a size of 3/4 ODx.035 Wall SB111-706 and a thickness of 20 gauges, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover, providing convenient access for maintenance and inspection. The tube plate is fabricated from steel, ensuring stability and reliability during operation. Steel separators are also included in the design to enhance heat transfer efficiency. This heat exchanger can withstand working pressures up to 150 psi, making it suitable for various industrial applications where efficient liquid to liquid heat transfer is required.
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.
