lämpöpalautus

Lämpöpalautus, also known as heat recovery or heat regeneration, is a process used to capture and reuse waste heat that would otherwise be lost. This recovered heat can then be utilized for various purposes, such as preheating incoming air, water, or other fluids, thereby reducing the overall energy consumption of a system. The principle behind lämpöpalautus involves a heat exchanger, which facilitates the transfer of thermal energy from a hot stream to a colder stream without direct contact between the two. This technology is widely applied in industrial processes, building ventilation systems, and power generation to improve energy efficiency and reduce operational costs. By minimizing the need to generate new heat, lämpöpalautus contributes to a lower environmental impact and more sustainable energy practices. The effectiveness of lämpöpalautus depends on factors such as the temperature difference between the heat source and the recipient, the efficiency of the heat exchanger, and the flow rates of the participating media.
