This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model G18410L, is a high-quality heat transfer device designed for liquid to liquid applications. With a nominal shell diameter of 18 inches, this heat exchanger is capable of efficiently transferring heat between two liquids. The U-tube design features 4 passes through the tubes, ensuring maximum heat transfer efficiency. The tube bundle length measures 60 inches, providing ample surface area for effective heat exchange. The tubes are made of copper and have a size of 3/4 OD x .035 (20 Ga) wall thickness, known as SB75 Tubes. This material combination ensures excellent thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover, allowing for easy installation and maintenance. The tube plate material is fabricated steel, offering durability and strength in operation. Steel separators are used to enhance flow distribution within the exchanger. With a working pressure of 150 psi, this Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger is 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.
