lämmityspatterien

Lämmityspatterit, often referred to as radiators in English, are devices used for heating indoor spaces. They work by circulating hot water or steam through a series of interconnected tubes or fins. This hot fluid, typically heated by a boiler or a central heating system, then transfers its thermal energy to the surrounding air through convection and radiation. As the air comes into contact with the heated surface of the lämmityspatteri, it warms up and rises, creating a convection current that circulates throughout the room.

The design of lämmityspatterit can vary. Older models often featured cast iron construction with a distinct ribbed appearance. Modern radiators are frequently made from steel or aluminum and can be found in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and styles, including panel radiators, column radiators, and decorative radiators designed to blend in with interior decor. The effectiveness of a lämmityspatteri is determined by its surface area, the temperature of the circulating fluid, and the efficiency of the heating system. Regular maintenance, such as bleeding to remove trapped air, ensures optimal performance.
