ACV Turbulator 50423059

The ACV Turbulator 50423059 is a set of 16 turbulators, each 750 mm long, designed for use in ACV CA 100 series heat exchangers. These components are installed in the flue gas passages to create turbulence, slowing the flow and increasing heat transfer efficiency. The set is compatible with CA 100 Standard, Compact, Eco, Comfort, and V2 models. The article number is 129.841.004.

Turbulators of this type are selected based on the specific dimensions of the flue passages, including length, diameter, and the number of tubes in the heat exchanger. They are typically held in place by tube geometry or a retaining bracket. Before ordering, measure the flue tube length and diameter, and confirm the number of tubes to ensure the set quantity matches. During installation, check the condition of the flue tube inner surfaces and any gaskets, and clean the heat exchanger if scaling or soot is present.

When turbulators fail or degrade, the boiler's thermal efficiency may decrease, leading to higher fuel consumption and reduced heat output. Soot accumulation on the gas side or scaling on the water side can exacerbate performance issues. In condensing boilers, corrosion may occur where condensate pools near the turbulator ends. Inspect turbulators for damage, deformation, or blockage, and clean or replace them as needed.
