This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model G18408L, is a highly efficient heat transfer device designed for liquid to liquid applications. With a nominal shell diameter of 18 inches, this heat exchanger offers ample capacity for effective heat exchange. It features a 4-pass design, allowing for multiple passes of the heat transfer medium through the tubes to maximize efficiency. The tube bundle length is 48 inches, providing a generous surface area for optimal heat transfer. The tube size is 3/4" OD and made of double wall cupro-nickel (smooth) material, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover, offering easy installation and maintenance. The tube plate material is shell side tube plates, while the separators are made of steel, further enhancing the exchanger's reliability and longevity. This heat exchanger has a working pressure of 150 psi, making it suitable for various industrial applications that require high pressure capabilities.
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.
