This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model G12414S, is a versatile and efficient heat transfer device designed for steam to liquid applications. With a nominal shell diameter of 12 inches, it features four tube passes and a tube bundle length of 84 inches. The tubes are made of copper with a size of 3/4 OD x .035 (20 Ga) wall thickness, ensuring optimal heat transfer. The heat exchanger utilizes a channel-flanged connection type without a cover, providing easy access for maintenance and inspection. The tube plate is constructed from steel for durability, while the separators are also made of steel. This heat exchanger operates at a working pressure of 150 psi, making it suitable for various industrial settings.
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.
