Which term describes a stationary device used to divert the flow of flue gases?

baffle
gas burner
automatic vent damper
air shutter

The correct answer is: baffle

The term that describes a stationary device used to divert the flow of flue gases is a baffle. Baffles are designed to control or modify the path of gases within a system, ensuring that the gases flow in a desired direction and preventing backflow or turbulence. In applications related to heating systems or flue gas management, baffles can enhance the efficiency of gas flow and improve overall system performance. Other options do not fit this description as precisely. A gas burner is responsible for generating heat through combustion and does not have a role in diverting gases. An automatic vent damper is typically used to control the flow of air or gases during specific operational states but is not stationary in the same way a baffle is, as it operates based on temperature or pressure changes. An air shutter regulates the amount of air entering a combustion system but does not specifically divert flue gases.
