Abstract
Systems and a method for controlling a temperature of an exhaust gas stack are provided. The system includes a first heat exchanger positioned upstream in exhaust gas flow communication to an exhaust gas inlet to the stack, a second heat exchanger positioned upstream in exhaust gas flow communication to the first heat exchanger, and a water side conduit configured to direct a flow of relatively hot water from the second heat exchanger to the first heat exchanger such that a temperature of a flow of exhaust gas flowing through the first exchanger is maintained within a predetermined range.
