This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model E12206S, is a high-quality heat exchanger designed for efficient heat transfer between steam and liquid. With a nominal shell diameter of 12 inches, it is capable of handling large volumes of fluids. The heat exchanger features 2 tube passes, allowing for enhanced heat transfer efficiency. The tube bundle length is 36 inches, providing ample surface area for effective heat exchange. The tubes are made of 304 stainless steel (3/4 OD x .049 Wall SA249 TP304, 18 Ga.), ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover, facilitating easy installation and maintenance. The tube plate material is grooved 304SS, which promotes turbulence and enhances heat transfer efficiency. The separators are made of steel, further enhancing the structural integrity of the heat exchanger. With a working pressure rating of 150 psi, this Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger is suitable for various industrial applications where efficient steam-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.
