lämmityspatteri

Lämmityspatteri is a type of air-to-water heat pump, commonly used for space heating and hot water supply. It is a highly efficient and environmentally friendly solution for heating buildings, particularly in regions with mild winters.

The system consists of an outdoor unit, which contains the compressor, expansion valve, and fan, and an indoor unit, which houses the heat exchanger and fan. The outdoor unit is usually installed in a sheltered location, while the indoor unit is connected to the heating and hot water distribution system.

During the heating cycle, the outdoor unit draws in ambient air and dissipates heat into the surrounding environment. The refrigerant is then compressed, causing the temperature to rise, and is transferred to the indoor unit through a piping system. In the indoor unit, the refrigerant gives up its heat to the building's water circulation system, which is then distributed to radiators, underfloor heating, or directly for hot water supply.

The benefits of a lämmityspatteri system include high efficiency, low maintenance requirements, and no need for fossil fuel combustion, making it an attractive option for both residential and commercial building owners. Additionally, these systems can provide cooling in the summer by reversing the flow of refrigerant and dissipating heat outdoors.

Lämmityspatteri systems are typically manufactured by specialized companies and are widely used in Scandinavian countries, where the climate and energy policies favor the adoption of renewable energy solutions. The cost-effectiveness and environmental advantages of these systems have led to their increasing popularity in other regions as well.
