This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model E8216L, is a liquid to liquid heat exchanger designed for efficient heat transfer. With a nominal shell diameter of 8 inches and two tube passes, this heat exchanger is capable of handling high heat transfer rates. The tube bundle length is 96 inches, providing ample surface area for effective heat exchange. The tubes are made of double wall copper with a smooth finish and have a diameter of 3/4" OD. The tube plate material consists of 316 stainless steel on the head side and carbon steel on the shell side tube plates. Steel separators are used to enhance the separation of the fluids within the heat exchanger. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover, allowing for easy installation and maintenance. This heat exchanger has a working pressure rating of 150 psi, ensuring reliable operation under various conditions.
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.
