Turbulator: the simple component that gets the most out of your boiler

When you want to get more out of your fuel

Burning wood produces hot flue gases that flow through the heat exchanger and then exit through the chimney. This is where the turbulator comes in. It’s a mechanical spiral or vane that is placed in the flue gas path of the boiler. Its job is to slow and agitate the flow of hot flue gases so that they have more time to transfer heat to the water in the heat exchanger.

In layman’s terms – instead of precious energy literally “going up the chimney”, it stays at home and heats your radiators or floor.

Efficiency that counts

With a turbulator, the boiler uses more energy from every log. Thanks to this:

• you burn less wood,
• you save money and the work of splitting and stacking,
• faster start-up of the heating system – the heat spreads faster.

What’s more – with BLAZE HARMONY boilers, the turbulators are directly connected to the cleaning lever, which allows them to move across the heat exchanger. As a result, the walls of the heat exchanger remain clean and free of soot, which significantly promotes the functionality of the turbulators and thus efficient and economical wood heating. Just one movement of the lever – no complicated cleaning, no loss of performance.

In addition, you only need a smaller stock for the winter, which will be appreciated by anyone with limited space for fuel storage.

Modern heating without unnecessary losses

The turbulator is not a complicated piece of electronics – it is a purely mechanical part that works reliably and without maintenance. And although its principle is simple, the results are noticeable. Combined with a well-controlled combustion process (e.g. using a lambda sensor), it helps the boiler to operate with high efficiency and low emissions.

And this is exactly what will be increasingly required in the years to come – efficient and environmentally friendly heating without compromise.
