Lämmöntalteenottolaitteistot

Lämmöntalteenottolaitteistot, often referred to as heat recovery systems, are devices designed to capture and reuse waste heat from exhaust air or other processes. This recovered heat can then be used to preheat fresh incoming air, reducing the energy required for heating. The primary function of these systems is to improve energy efficiency in buildings and industrial applications by minimizing heat loss.

Common types of lämmöntalteenottolaitteistot include heat exchangers, heat pipes, and heat pumps. Heat exchangers, such as rotary heat exchangers and plate heat exchangers, transfer heat between two air streams without direct contact. Rotary heat exchangers use a rotating wheel coated with a heat-absorbing material, while plate heat exchangers consist of a series of plates separating the incoming and outgoing air. Heat pipes utilize a sealed tube containing a fluid that evaporates and condenses to transfer heat. Heat pumps can also be integrated for more active heat recovery and can even transfer heat against its natural flow.

The application of lämmöntalteenottolaitteistot is widespread, ranging from residential ventilation systems to large-scale industrial processes like manufacturing plants and power stations. By reducing the need for primary heating energy, these systems contribute to lower operational costs and a reduced environmental impact. Their implementation is a key strategy in achieving energy conservation and sustainability goals.
