Kaugkütusejaamade

Kaugkütusejaam is an Estonian term that translates to "remote heating station" or "district heating substation." These facilities are crucial components of a district heating network, serving to regulate and distribute heat from a central source to individual buildings or groups of buildings within a community.

A typical kaugkütusejaam receives hot water or steam from a larger heating plant, often powered by biomass, fossil fuels, or waste heat. Inside the station, heat exchangers transfer heat from the primary network to a secondary network that serves the end-users. This process allows for temperature and pressure adjustments to meet the specific demands of connected properties, ensuring efficient and safe delivery of heat for space heating and hot water.

Kaugkütusejaamad are equipped with various control systems, pumps, valves, and measurement instruments to monitor and manage the flow and temperature of the heating medium. Their presence enables a centralized and often more environmentally friendly approach to heating compared to individual boiler systems in each building. They play a vital role in urban infrastructure, contributing to energy efficiency and reducing localized emissions.
