The Hurst internal stack economizer is a factory-optional device that is designed to increase the operating efficiency of a boiler, cutting down on its operational costs over the lifetime of the boiler.

Boilers operate by heating water to make steam, and using that steam for heating, processing or power generation. For the most part, a boiler is fairly efficient, but some heat loss may occur when the flu gasses resulting from combustion are vented. The spent gases after combustion are quite hot, often very hot, and when they are simply vented out the exhaust stack, this represents lost heat for the boiler system.

The Hurst stack economizer acts as a waste heat recovery device, ensuring that this available heat does not go unused. Instead, the heat is recovered to essentially preheat the boiler’s makeup water.
