This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model E18208S, is designed for efficient heat transfer between steam and liquid. With a nominal shell diameter of 18 inches, this heat exchanger features a double wall copper tube bundle that is 48 inches long. The tubes are smooth and made of SB75-C122 copper with an outer diameter of 3/4". The heat transfer medium flows through two passes within the tubes, ensuring optimal performance. The connection type is a channel with flanges and does not include a cover. The tube plates are made of carbon steel, while the separators are constructed from steel for durability. This heat exchanger has a working pressure of 150 psi, making it suitable for various applications where reliable heat exchange 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.
