This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model E18216S, is designed for efficient heat transfer between steam and liquid. With a nominal shell diameter of 18 inches, it features two tube passes and a tube bundle length of 96 inches. The heat exchanger utilizes copper 3/4 OD x .035 (20 Ga) wall SB75 tubes for optimal performance. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover, ensuring secure and reliable connections. The tube plate is made of steel, providing durability and strength, while the separators are also constructed from steel. This heat exchanger is capable of working under a maximum pressure of 150 psi, making it suitable for a variety of applications where steam to liquid heat transfer is required.
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.
