Keskküttesüsteemi

Keskküttesüsteem, commonly referred to as a central heating system, is a method of heating a building from a single heat source. This source, often a boiler or furnace, generates heat that is then distributed throughout the building to various rooms. The most common distribution methods involve circulating hot water or steam through a network of pipes to radiators or other heat emitters. Alternatively, warm air can be blown through ductwork.

The primary function of a central heating system is to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, especially during colder months. The heat source is typically fueled by natural gas, oil, electricity, or renewable sources like wood or geothermal energy. The system is controlled by a thermostat, which monitors the ambient temperature and activates or deactivates the heating process as needed to maintain a set temperature.

Modern central heating systems often incorporate advanced features for efficiency and user convenience. These can include programmable thermostats that adjust temperatures based on occupancy schedules, zoning systems that allow for individual temperature control in different areas of the building, and high-efficiency boilers that consume less fuel. The design and installation of a central heating system are crucial for its performance, safety, and energy efficiency. Regular maintenance is also important to ensure optimal operation and longevity of the system.
