õhkküttesüsteem
õhkküttesüsteem, often translated as forced-air heating system, is a common type of central heating. It works by circulating heated air through a network of ducts and returns cooler air to the furnace or heat source for reheating. The core components include a furnace or heat pump, a blower fan, a thermostat, and a system of supply and return air ducts. The thermostat senses the ambient temperature and signals the furnace to turn on when the temperature drops below a set point. The furnace heats the air, and the blower fan then pushes this heated air through the supply ducts to various rooms in a building. Warm air enters the rooms through supply vents. As the air cools, it is drawn back into the return ducts through return grilles and directed back to the furnace to be reheated, completing the cycle. These systems are efficient for heating large spaces and can often be integrated with air conditioning systems, providing both heating and cooling through the same ductwork. Regular maintenance, such as changing air filters and inspecting components, is important for optimal performance and longevity of an õhkküttesüsteem.
