This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model E8208S, is designed for efficient heat transfer between steam and liquid. With a nominal shell diameter of 8 inches, this heat exchanger features a 2-pass tube configuration to maximize heat exchange capabilities. The tube bundle length is 48 inches, providing ample surface area for effective heat transfer. The tubes are made of 304 stainless steel (3/4 OD x .049 Wall SA249 TP304, 18 Ga.) ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover, allowing for easy installation and maintenance. The tube plate material is grooved 304SS for enhanced performance and reliability. Steel separators are used to separate the steam and liquid streams efficiently. This heat exchanger has a working pressure of 150 psi, making it suitable for various industrial applications requiring high-pressure operations.
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.
