: Without looking it up, I think 140*F is the bare minimum on #2 oil, so to make sure that the flue gas gets up the stack and out without condensing, you're probably looking at something like 200*F. The manufacturer of the economizer should be able to provide you with some information.
: If there's no 3 way valve, is there a damper that will allow some or all of the flue gas to bypass the economizer to prevent flue gas condensation?
There is no bypass damper installed the economizer sits directly ontop of the boiler exhaust outlet and feeds a transition duct to the stack.
