SAVC 7606291 Turbulator 28-60

This turbulator, branded De Dietrich, is a component that fits inside the flue ways of a heat exchanger. Turbulators of this type are metal inserts that slow the flow of flue gases as they pass through the heat exchanger. By reducing the gas velocity, more thermal energy is transferred from the combustion products to the water, improving overall efficiency. The specific article is identified by the catalogue number 336.841.015 and the manufacturer code 7606291; the reference "28-60" indicates a range for which this part is dimensioned, though the exact interpretation of that range is not specified here. When selecting a replacement turbulator, the critical parameters are the physical dimensions of the flue passages, the number of ways or plates in the heat exchanger, the material of the turbulator (commonly stainless steel, copper, or aluminium alloy), and the type of gasket used at the seal points. Because these dimensions vary between boiler models, a turbulator must be matched to the specific heat exchanger design. Incorrect sizing can lead to poor heat transfer or increased resistance to flue gas flow, which may affect burner performance. In service, turbulators can accumulate soot on the gas side, reducing heat transfer. In condensing appliances, corrosion may occur where condensate collects, particularly if the material is not resistant to acidic condensate. During replacement, inspect the gasket condition and clean the flue ways thoroughly to restore proper operation.
