This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model E18212S, is a heat exchanger designed for transferring heat between steam and liquid mediums. With a nominal shell diameter of 18 inches, this heat exchanger features a 2 pass configuration, allowing for efficient heat transfer. The tube bundle length measures 72 inches, providing ample surface area for heat exchange. The tubes are made of copper with a size of 3/4 OD x .049 (18 Ga) wall thickness, ensuring optimal thermal conductivity. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover, allowing for easy installation and maintenance. The tube plate is constructed from steel, providing durability and strength. The separators are made of 304 stainless steel, ensuring corrosion resistance. This heat exchanger can operate at a working pressure of up to 150 psi, making it suitable for various industrial applications.
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.
