A waste heat reclamation apparatus for reclaiming combustion gases from a heating unit. The apparatus includes a flue section that engages the given heating unit's flue stack and selectively bypasses flue gases into a bypass section of the apparatus. The bypass section includes a fluid jacket for heat transfer of waste heat in the flue gases to a heat absorbing fluid of a fluid-based heating system. The bypass section and flue section route flue gases by way of offset conduits which promotes swirling action of the flue gases within the bypass section. The fluid jacket also includes baffles which promote mixing of the heat absorbing fluid along a circuitous path. The swirling action and mixing in the circuitous path increase the efficiency of heat transfer without adding mechanical complexity to the apparatus. |
