I want the radiator to last for a long time, how to maintain it. The radiator is a kind of heating equipment that works in a corrosive environment for a long time. How to effectively extend the life of the radiator to reduce the unnecessary trouble caused by replacing the radiator. Below are four ways to extend the life of the radiator.
1. Normally, you should not put wet things on the heater, which will further corrode the radiator and shorten the service life. Do not pat, shake the radiator or use the radiator as a support to put things on.
2. Steel radiator is suitable for central heating system with full water maintenance. When purchasing, first choose steel radiator with internal anti-corrosion technology, otherwise it will be easily corroded and lead to water leakage; aluminum radiator has strong heat transfer capability. Acid and oxidation resistant, but prone to alkaline corrosion. Because most of China's water quality is alkaline, aluminum radiators and aluminum alloy radiators are rarely used; copper-aluminum composite radiators can be used in pressureless boilers and central heating systems. In the middle, if the hot water in the district is in a high temperature for a long time, if it exceeds 80 °C, it will easily lead to the disconnection of copper and aluminum and lose the heat dissipation effect.
3, the heating position can not be arbitrarily changed
The installation of the radiators is arranged in a position favorable for indoor heating, which ensures that the air convection and the indoor temperature are relatively average. Once the position is changed, the indoor temperature imbalance will be caused. On the other hand, once the pipes and radiators are moved, it is very prone to leaks and cause unnecessary losses.
4, do not freely release water from the system
If there is no hot water in the pipeline, it is necessary to replenish the cold water to maintain a certain pressure on the pipe network system. The more water is discharged, the water temperature in the pipe network will drop rapidly, causing the indoor temperature to decrease. Friends who use steel heating should pay attention to closing the valve in time to stop the heating, so that the heating is filled with water, which can extend the life of the radiator.
In short, it is necessary to reasonably cherish the use of their own radiators. After a period of idleness, the heating pipes are prone to problems. It is best to keep people in the early stage of heating, pay attention to whether the pipes run, run, drip or leak, so as to solve them in time. Once the radiator bursts or the vent valve breaks, the crack should be blocked immediately with thick towels, rags, etc. The residents of the households immediately close their valves.
The most effective way to extend the life of the radiator is to properly and efficiently maintain the radiator during use and deactivation of the heater.
