Lämpökäynnistetty

Lämpökäynnistetty is a Finnish term that translates to "heat-activated" or "thermally initiated" in English. It describes a process or phenomenon that begins or is triggered by the application of heat. This concept is applicable across various scientific and technical fields.

In materials science, a lämpökäynnistetty reaction might refer to a chemical change that occurs only when a material reaches a specific temperature threshold. This is common in polymers, where heat can initiate cross-linking or degradation processes. Similarly, in metallurgy, heat can be the catalyst for phase transformations or annealing processes within metals.

In electronics, a lämpökäynnistetty component might be a device designed to activate or change its state when exposed to a certain temperature. This could be a thermal switch or a component that undergoes a specific physical change upon heating.

The term also appears in discussions of energy systems, where heat is used to start a chain reaction or a cycle. For instance, in a power plant, heat is often the primary energy input that drives turbines or initiates chemical processes. The principle of lämpökäynnistetty is fundamental to many industrial and scientific applications where controlled temperature changes are used to initiate or control processes.
