This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model E14218L, is designed for efficient heat transfer between two liquid mediums. With a nominal shell diameter of 14 inches, this heat exchanger features a two-pass tube design to maximize heat exchange. The tube bundle length measures 108 inches, ensuring ample surface area for optimal heat transfer. The tubes are constructed from 316 stainless steel, with a diameter of 3/4 inches and a wall thickness of .049 inches. These tubes are made to withstand high working pressures up to 150 psi. The channel-flanged connection type allows for easy installation and maintenance, while the absence of a cover simplifies access to the tubes. The tube plate is made from grooved 304 stainless steel for superior durability and performance, while the separators are crafted from 316 stainless steel. Suitable for liquid-to-liquid heat transfer applications, this Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger is an excellent choice for industrial processes requiring efficient and reliable heat exchange capabilities.
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.
