Valurautakattila

Valurautakattila is a Finnish term that translates to "cast iron boiler". These boilers are heating devices typically used in residential and commercial buildings for space heating and hot water production. As the name suggests, their primary construction material is cast iron, a robust and durable metal known for its excellent heat retention properties. Cast iron boilers are often used with hydronic heating systems, where hot water is circulated through radiators or radiant floor tubing. They are known for their longevity and ability to withstand high temperatures and pressures. The design of cast iron boilers often involves sections assembled together, which can make them easier to transport and install in some cases. Maintenance usually involves regular cleaning and inspection of the heating surfaces and flue passages to ensure efficient operation and safety. While newer technologies exist, cast iron boilers remain a reliable option for heating in many regions.
