The U-Tube design features 4 passes for enhanced heat transfer efficiency. The tube bundle length is 96 inches, providing ample surface area for optimal heat exchange. The tubes are made of 316 stainless steel with a diameter of 3/4 inch and a wall thickness of .049 inches. These tubes are constructed using SA249 TP316 material with an 18 gauge thickness. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover, allowing for easy installation and maintenance. The tube plate is made of steel, ensuring durability and longevity. Steel separators are also included to enhance the performance of the heat exchanger. With a working pressure of 150 psi, this heat exchanger can handle demanding applications with ease.
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.
