This Taco Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, model E18220L, is designed for efficient heat transfer between two liquid mediums. With a nominal shell diameter of 18 inches, it offers ample capacity for heat exchange. The heat exchanger features a double wall design and utilizes cupro-nickel tubes that are smooth and have a diameter of 3/4 inch. These tubes are made from SB111-706 material, ensuring durability and effective heat transfer. The unit has two tube passes and a bundle length of 120 inches, providing an extended surface area for optimal heat exchange. The connection type is channel-flanged without a cover, while the tube plate material is shell side tube plates made from 304 stainless steel. Additionally, the separators within the unit are constructed from steel material. The working pressure of this heat exchanger is rated at 150 psi, making it suitable for various applications requiring high-pressure operations. 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.
