Kiertovetejärjestelmä

Kiertovetejärjestelmä refers to a closed-loop water system, primarily used in industrial processes and building HVAC systems. In such a system, water is recirculated rather than being discharged and replenished continuously. This approach significantly reduces water consumption, as the same water is treated and reused multiple times.

The core principle of a kiertovetejärjestelmä involves pumping water through various components where it performs its intended function, such as heat exchange or cleaning. After its use, the water is then directed to a treatment or conditioning unit. This unit removes impurities, adjusts chemical balances, or performs other necessary processes to prepare the water for re-entry into the circulation loop.

Benefits of implementing a kiertovetejärjestelmä include substantial water savings, leading to lower operational costs and a reduced environmental footprint. It also helps in minimizing wastewater discharge, which can be costly and environmentally regulated. Furthermore, by maintaining consistent water quality through treatment, these systems can prolong the lifespan of equipment and improve the efficiency of industrial operations. Common applications are found in cooling towers, industrial heating and cooling circuits, and certain types of machinery where water is used as a working fluid.
