kollektorissa

Kollektorissa is a Finnish term that translates to "in the collector" or "in the manifold." It most commonly refers to a component within a heating or plumbing system. In a heating system, a collector (also known as a manifold) is a device that distributes heated water from a central source, such as a boiler or heat pump, to multiple circuits or radiators. Conversely, it can also collect cooled water from these circuits and return it to the source for reheating. This function allows for precise control over individual heating zones.

In solar thermal systems, a solar collector is the part of the system that absorbs solar radiation and converts it into heat. This heat is then transferred to a fluid, usually water or a water-glycol mixture, which circulates through the collector. The term "kollektorissa" in this context would imply the fluid being within the solar collector itself, absorbing the sun's energy.

The principle of a collector applies to various fluid distribution and collection systems, ensuring efficient and controlled flow. The specific design and function of a "kollektorissa" can vary depending on the type of system it is part of, but its core role remains the distribution or aggregation of a fluid.
