Le principe de base du système à eau chaude est bien connu: l'eau contenue dans une chaudière ("fournaise") est d'abord chauffée par un appareil fonctionnant au mazout, au gaz, ou à l'électricité; circulant ensuite dans des canalisations, elle alimente des radiateurs ou des convecteurs, installés dans chacune des pièces de la maison. Au bout de sa course, l'eau revient à l'appareil pour être chauffée de nouveau avant d'entreprendre un autre cycle, et ainsi de suite. 7, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20chauffage%20%C3%A0%20eau%20chaude
