This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model G14408L, is a high-quality heat transfer device designed for liquid to liquid applications. It features a nominal shell diameter of 14 inches, providing ample space for efficient heat exchange. With its 4-pass design, the heat exchanger ensures optimal performance by maximizing contact between the heat transfer medium and the tubes. The tube bundle length measures 48 inches, offering an extended surface area for enhanced heat transfer capabilities. The tubes themselves are made of copper with a diameter of 3/4 inch and a wall thickness of .035 inches (20 Ga), ensuring durability and effective heat conduction. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover, allowing for easy installation and maintenance. The tube plate material is composed of steel, providing strength and stability to the overall structure. Additionally, the steel separators further enhance performance by promoting proper fluid flow within the heat exchanger. With a working pressure rating of 150 psi, this Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger is built to withstand demanding operating conditions while maintaining efficient heat transfer capabilities.
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.
