Keskuslämmityskattila

Keskuslämmityskattila, often referred to as a central heating boiler, is a crucial component of a building's heating system. Its primary function is to heat water that is then circulated through radiators or underfloor heating pipes to warm the entire structure. These boilers typically use various fuel sources, including natural gas, oil, propane, or solid fuels like wood or pellets. The combustion of the fuel generates heat, which is transferred to water within the boiler's heat exchanger. This heated water is then pumped through a closed-loop system to the various heating elements in the building.

Modern central heating boilers are designed for efficiency and environmental friendliness. Condensing boilers, for example, capture and reuse the heat from the exhaust gases, significantly increasing their energy efficiency compared to older models. They also play a role in domestic hot water production, either by directly heating water on demand or by heating a separate storage tank. The operation and maintenance of a keskúslämmityskattila are important for ensuring consistent heating, optimal performance, and safety. Regular servicing by qualified professionals is recommended to prevent issues and prolong the lifespan of the unit. The selection of a boiler depends on factors such as the size of the building, fuel availability, and energy efficiency requirements.
