lämmönjakotapa

Lämpöjakotapa refers to the method by which heat is distributed within a building or a heating system. It describes how the generated heat energy is transferred from its source, such as a boiler or heat pump, to the various points of use, like radiators, underfloor heating, or air handling units. The choice of lämmönjakotapa significantly impacts the system's efficiency, comfort levels, and installation costs.

Common lämmönjakotavat include circulating hot water through pipes to radiators or underfloor heating systems. In these water-based systems, a pump circulates heated water, which then releases its thermal energy into the rooms. Another method is direct air heating, where heated air is blown through ducts to various spaces, often found in forced-air systems. Electric heating, such as baseboard heaters or radiant panels, directly converts electricity into heat within the occupied space, representing a simpler, though often less economical, lämmönjakotapa. The efficiency of the lämmönjakotapa is determined by factors like heat loss during distribution, the responsiveness of the system, and the ability to control temperature in individual zones.
