This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model E18220S, is a single-heat exchanger designed for steam to liquid heat transfer applications. With a nominal shell diameter of 18 inches and two tube passes, this heat exchanger has a tube bundle length of 120 inches. The tubes are made of copper with a size of 3/4 OD x .035 (20 Ga) wall thickness, specifically SB75 tubes. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover, and the tube plate and separators are made of steel. This heat exchanger can operate at a working pressure of up to 150 psi.
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.
