This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model E18216L, is a liquid to liquid heat exchanger designed for efficient heat transfer. With a nominal shell diameter of 18 inches and two tube passes, this heat exchanger is capable of handling high volumes of liquid. The tube bundle length measures 96 inches, providing ample surface area for effective heat exchange. The tubes themselves are made of copper with a size of 3/4 OD x .035 (20 Ga) wall thickness, ensuring durability and optimal heat conductivity. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover, allowing for easy installation and maintenance. The tube plate material is steel, providing stability and strength to the overall structure. Additionally, the steel separators enhance the efficiency of heat transfer within the exchanger. With a working pressure of 150 psi, this Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger is suitable for various industrial applications where efficient liquid-to-liquid heat exchange 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.
