lämmönjakoon
Lämmönjakoon refers to the distribution of thermal energy from a centralized heat source to end users, typically within a district heating system. It covers the transport of hot water or steam through an insulated pipe network and the heat exchange at customer substations that transfers heat to a building’s heating and domestic hot-water systems.
How it works: A centralized plant, such as a combined heat and power plant, a heat-only boiler,
Network structure: District heating networks are typically described as primary distribution networks and secondary (building) networks.
Performance and challenges: Efficiency depends on plant efficiency, network design, and insulation. Heat losses along the
Context: In many Nordic and European cities, lämmönjakoon supports urban energy planning, energy security, and the
