Abstract
A heat recovery unit for generating a heated fluid by a hot exhaust gas includes a housing having an inlet for introducing hot exhaust gas and an outlet for discharging treated exhaust gas, and arranged in the housing at least one heat exchanger for heat exchange between the hot exhaust gas and a fluid, and an auxiliary combustor for combusting fuel with hot exhaust gas. The auxiliary combustor is provided with a fuel supply, which auxiliary combustor is arranged downstream of the at least one heat exchanger in the housing. An exhaust gas bypass for a part of the hot exhaust gas is provided, having an inlet for exhaust gas, and being positioned upstream of the at least one heat exchanger, and having an outlet in direct fluid communication with the auxiliary combustor.
