Vesikeskuslämmitysjärjestelmät

Vesikeskuslämmitysjärjestelmät, commonly known as hydronic heating systems, are a type of central heating that uses water as the heat-transfer medium. In these systems, a boiler or furnace heats water, which is then circulated through a network of pipes to radiators or other heat emitters located throughout a building. The heated water flows through the radiators, transferring its heat to the surrounding air, which in turn warms the room. Once the water has cooled, it returns to the boiler to be reheated, creating a continuous cycle.

The core components of a vesikeskuslämmitysjärjestelmä include the heat source (boiler), a pump to circulate the water, pipes to transport the water, and heat emitters (radiators, baseboard heaters, or radiant floor systems). An expansion tank is typically included to accommodate the expansion and contraction of water as its temperature changes. Control systems, such as thermostats, regulate the system's operation to maintain a desired temperature. These systems are known for their even heat distribution and can be powered by various fuel sources, including natural gas, oil, electricity, or renewable energy like biomass or heat pumps. Regular maintenance is important to ensure efficiency and longevity.
