This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model E18206L, is a liquid to liquid heat exchanger designed for efficient heat transfer. With a nominal shell diameter of 18 inches, it is suitable for various industrial applications. The heat exchanger features a 2 pass design, allowing the liquid to flow through the tubes twice, maximizing heat transfer efficiency. The tube bundle length is 36 inches, providing ample surface area for effective heat exchange. The tubes are made of 316 stainless steel and have dimensions of 3/4 OD x .049 wall thickness, conforming to SA249 TP316 standards with an 18-gauge thickness. This ensures durability and corrosion resistance. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover, allowing for easy installation and maintenance. The tube plate material is grooved 316 stainless steel, which enhances turbulence and improves heat transfer efficiency. Steel separators are used in this heat exchanger to ensure proper flow distribution and prevent mixing of the two liquids being exchanged. With a working pressure rating of 150 psi, this heat exchanger can handle demanding industrial applications with ease.
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.
