Lämmityspolttoöljyä
Lämmityspolttoöljy, also known as heating oil, is a fuel used for heating residential and commercial buildings. It is a distillate of crude oil, typically a blend of heavier hydrocarbons than gasoline or diesel fuel. Its primary use is in oil-fired furnaces and boilers to generate heat through combustion. Lämmityspolttoöljy is generally stored in tanks, which can be located underground or above ground, and delivered by specialized tankers. The quality and composition of heating oil can vary depending on the supplier and regional regulations. It is a widely used heating source in many countries, particularly in areas where natural gas pipelines are not readily available. The combustion process produces heat, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other byproducts, necessitating proper ventilation and maintenance of heating systems to ensure safety and efficiency. While a common and effective heating method, environmental considerations related to emissions are a factor in its use.
