This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model G16418L, is a high-quality heat transfer device designed for liquid to liquid applications. With a nominal shell diameter of 16 inches, this heat exchanger is capable of efficiently transferring heat between two liquids. The U-tube design ensures optimal heat transfer by maximizing the surface area available for exchange. This model features four tube passes, allowing for enhanced heat transfer efficiency. The tube bundle length measures 108 inches, providing ample space for effective heat transfer. The tubes are made of 316 stainless steel (3/4 OD x .049 Wall SA249 TP316, 18 Ga.), ensuring excellent corrosion resistance and durability. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover, providing ease of installation and maintenance. The tube plate material is grooved 316SS, which facilitates efficient flow and minimizes fouling. The separators are constructed from steel for added strength and longevity. With a working pressure of 150 psi, this Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger is suitable for various industrial applications where reliable 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.
