This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model E6206S, is a steam to liquid heat exchanger designed for efficient heat transfer. With a nominal shell diameter of 6 inches and two tube passes, this heat exchanger is capable of handling high volumes of steam and liquid. The tube bundle length is 36 inches, providing ample surface area for effective heat exchange. The tubes are made of 304 stainless steel with a diameter of 3/4 inch and a wall thickness of .049 inch. They meet the SA249 TP304 standard and have an 18 gauge thickness. The heat transfer medium flows through these tubes, transferring thermal energy to the liquid. The connection type is threaded, ensuring secure and leak-free connections. The tube plate material is grooved 304 stainless steel, which enhances the heat transfer efficiency by increasing turbulence in the fluid flow. The separators in this heat exchanger are made of steel, providing durability and resistance to corrosion. This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger has a working pressure rating of 150 psi, making it suitable for various industrial applications where high-pressure conditions are present.
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.
