küttejahutussüsteemi

Küttejahutussüsteem, often referred to as HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) in English, is a comprehensive system designed to control the temperature, humidity, and purity of the air within a building. Its primary function is to provide thermal comfort for occupants while ensuring adequate indoor air quality. The system is typically divided into three main components: heating, ventilation, and cooling.

The heating component is responsible for raising the indoor temperature, especially during colder months. This can be achieved through various methods, including furnaces, boilers, or heat pumps, which generate and distribute heat through a network of ducts or pipes. Ventilation involves the exchange of indoor air with fresh outdoor air. This process removes stale air, pollutants, and excess moisture, thereby improving indoor air quality and preventing the buildup of harmful substances. Ventilation can be achieved through natural means, such as opening windows, or through mechanical systems like fans and air handling units.

The cooling component, also known as air conditioning, works to lower the indoor temperature and remove humidity during warmer periods. This is typically done by a refrigeration cycle that absorbs heat from the indoor air and expels it outdoors. The combined operation of these components ensures that a building's internal environment remains comfortable and healthy throughout the year, regardless of external weather conditions. Modern küttejahutussüsteemid are often integrated and can be controlled automatically or manually to maintain desired conditions efficiently.
