Lämpöjakelupumppu

Lämpöjakelupumppu, known in English as a heat distribution pump or heat circulation pump, is a key component in many heating systems, particularly those utilizing central heating or district heating. Its primary function is to circulate the heated water or heat transfer fluid from the heat source, such as a boiler or heat exchanger, through the heating network and back to the heat source. This continuous circulation ensures that heat is efficiently distributed to radiators, underfloor heating systems, or other heat emitters throughout a building or a network of buildings.

The pump operates by creating a pressure difference, drawing fluid from the return line and pushing it into the supply line of the heating system. Modern lämpöjakelupumput are often highly energy-efficient, featuring variable speed drives that adjust the pump's output based on the actual heating demand. This optimization reduces energy consumption compared to older, fixed-speed models. They are typically electric-powered and are designed for reliability and long service life. Regular maintenance, such as checking for leaks and ensuring proper lubrication, is important for maintaining optimal performance and longevity. The selection of an appropriate lämpöjakelupumppu depends on factors like the size of the heating system, the required flow rate, and the head pressure needed to overcome resistance in the pipework.
