Vesiküttega

Vesiküttega refers to a heating system that uses water as the heat transfer medium. This type of system is commonly employed in residential and commercial buildings for space heating. The fundamental principle involves circulating heated water through a network of pipes to radiators, underfloor heating elements, or fan coil units, which then transfer the heat to the surrounding air.

The heat source for a vesiküttega system can vary. Common options include boilers powered by natural gas, oil, propane, or electricity. Renewable energy sources like solar thermal collectors, heat pumps, and biomass boilers are also increasingly being integrated into vesiküttega systems, offering more sustainable heating solutions. The heated water is typically circulated by a pump. The temperature of the water is regulated by a thermostat, which controls the heat source and/or mixing valves to maintain a desired indoor temperature.

Vesiküttega systems are known for their efficiency and comfort. They provide a consistent and even distribution of heat, avoiding drafts often associated with forced-air systems. The water-based heating also tends to be quieter. Maintenance usually involves regular checks of the boiler, pump, and radiators, as well as periodic flushing of the system to remove sediment and prevent corrosion. Modern vesiküttega systems can be highly automated and integrated with smart home technology for optimized energy usage and remote control.
