Lahkvoolusüsteem
Lahkvoolusüsteem refers to a cooling system that utilizes liquid as the primary medium for heat transfer. This type of system is often employed in applications where efficient and rapid removal of heat is crucial, such as in computer hardware, industrial machinery, and automotive engines. Unlike air cooling, which relies on airflow to dissipate heat, a lahkvoolusüsteem circulates a fluid through designated channels or components where heat is generated. The heated fluid then travels to a heat exchanger, often called a radiator, where it transfers its thermal energy to a cooler medium, typically air or another liquid. This cooled fluid is then recirculated back to the heat-generating source, creating a continuous cycle. The effectiveness of a lahkvoolusüsteem depends on several factors, including the properties of the coolant, the design of the heat exchanger, and the flow rate of the fluid. Common coolants include water, ethylene glycol mixtures, and specialized oils, chosen based on their thermal conductivity, viscosity, and freezing/boiling points.
