This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model L8216S, is a U-Tube-Shell & Tube heat exchanger designed for efficient heat transfer between steam and liquid. With a nominal shell diameter of 8 inches and two tube passes, this heat exchanger provides optimal performance. The tube bundle length is 96 inches, ensuring ample surface area for effective heat exchange. The tubes are made of double wall copper with a smooth finish, measuring 3/4" in outer diameter and constructed with SB75-C122 material. The connection type is threaded, allowing for easy installation and maintenance. The tube plates are made of carbon steel on the head side, while the shell side tube plates are also made of carbon steel. Steel separators are used for efficient separation within the heat exchanger. This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger has a working pressure rating of 150 psi, making it suitable for various industrial applications requiring high-pressure heat transfer 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.
