vesilämmityksen

Vesilämmitys, also known as hydronic heating, is a central heating system that uses heated water to warm buildings. In this system, a boiler heats water, which is then circulated through a network of pipes to radiators or other heat emitters located throughout the building. As the hot water flows through the radiators, it transfers heat to the surrounding air, warming the rooms. The cooled water then returns to the boiler to be reheated, creating a continuous loop.

The primary components of a vesilämmitys system include the boiler, which can be powered by various energy sources such as natural gas, oil, electricity, or biomass; a pump, responsible for circulating the water; pipes, which transport the water; and heat emitters, typically radiators or underfloor heating systems. Modern vesilämmitys systems often incorporate thermostats for precise temperature control and zoning capabilities, allowing different areas of the building to be heated independently. This system is favored for its even heat distribution, quiet operation, and energy efficiency when paired with appropriate heat sources. It is a common heating method in many residential and commercial buildings.
