This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model E12216S, is a high-quality heat transfer device designed for efficient steam to liquid heat exchange. With a nominal shell diameter of 12 inches, this heat exchanger utilizes a 2-pass system to maximize heat transfer efficiency. The tube bundle length measures 96 inches and consists of 304 stainless steel tubes, specifically 3/4 inch outer diameter with a .049 inch wall thickness (SA249 TP304, 18 Ga.). The heat transfer medium flows through these tubes, allowing for effective heat exchange between the steam and liquid. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover, providing easy access for maintenance and inspection. The tube plate material is made of grooved steel, ensuring durability and reliability. Steel separators are also included in the design to enhance performance. This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger has a working pressure rating of 150 psi, making it suitable for various industrial applications requiring efficient steam to liquid heat transfer.
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.
