This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model G18420S, is designed for efficient heat transfer in industrial applications. With a nominal shell diameter of 18 inches, it offers ample capacity to handle large volumes of steam to liquid heat exchange. The heat exchanger features four tube passes, ensuring optimal heat transfer efficiency. The tube bundle length measures 120 inches, providing a generous surface area for effective heat exchange. The tubes are made of copper with a size of 3/4 OD x .035 (20 Ga) wall SB75 tubes, known for their excellent thermal conductivity. This ensures efficient and rapid heat transfer between the steam and liquid mediums. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover, allowing for easy installation and maintenance. The tube plate material is steel, which provides durability and strength to withstand high-pressure conditions. Additionally, the separators are made of steel to enhance the overall structural integrity of the heat exchanger. With a working pressure rating of 150 psi, this Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger is capable of handling demanding industrial applications with ease and reliability.
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.
