now it's spring, and the temperature is getting higher and higher day by day. Most cities have basically stopped heating, and all heating equipment will not be used until next winter. So how should the heating equipment be maintained to prolong its service life? This article brings you the methods of maintaining and maintaining heating equipment. Let's take a look at what to do after stopping heating.
1. It is best to maintain with full water
For families using radiators for heating, whether the material of radiators is steel, copper aluminum or cast iron, it is recommended to maintain them with full water. Full water maintenance can isolate oxygen, reduce oxygen content in water, prevent oxygen corrosion and prolong the service life of radiators.
2. Check whether there is water leakage after heating
After the heating is stopped, the temperature of the heating equipment decreases, which may cause thermal expansion and cold contraction, resulting in water leakage at all joints and valves of the pipeline. Remind everyone to carefully check whether there is looseness and water leakage at the interface after stopping heating. If there is slight water leakage, you can tie a towel. The towel will absorb the water and will not harm the floor and wall in the short term. If the water leakage is serious, contact professional personnel for maintenance as soon as possible, otherwise the furniture floor heating will be damaged, and the gain is not worth the loss.
3. Replace the old radiator in time
For the radiator that will be used in the heating season due to problems such as lack of heat, water seepage at welds or joints, serious surface deformation and old style, professionals should be contacted in time to replace the new radiator at the door after the heating is stopped. If it is used beyond the time limit, it will not only have safety risks, but also increase energy consumption and waste resources.
4. Floor heating pipes should be cleaned in time
For families using floor heating, after heating, the floor heating pipeline shall be cleaned in time, and full water maintenance shall be done at the same time, so as to open it again before the next heating season. The water in the floor heating pipe circulates for a long time. The water contains a large number of microorganisms. Under certain conditions, a large number of biological mud, bacteria and scale will be generated on the inner wall of the pipe. The heating temperature of the floor heating system will be affected for a long time, and there will be blockage in serious cases. Therefore, professional floor heating cleaning equipment needs to be used for flushing after every 1-2 heating seasons.
5. Thoroughly maintain and inspect the wall mounted furnace
The wall mounted boiler shall be maintained regularly. Through internal cleaning and descaling, the load of main components such as water pump and heat exchanger can be effectively reduced, the wear of operating components can be reduced, the failure rate can be reduced, and the wall mounted boiler can operate more smoothly. After the heating season, the wall mounted boiler shall be adjusted from heating mode to hot water mode in time.
There are some gas saving tips for wall mounted furnace in use, which can be learned and referred to. Do not turn on the hot water faucet at one time. After turning on the hot water faucet, there will be a certain time delay before hot water flows out. Turning on the hot water faucet will waste water until the water temperature becomes hot, and then adjust the water flow as needed; In the process of bathing, try to reduce the switching times of the faucet. Since the boiler needs to be started once every time the hot water tap is switched on and off, there must be a delay of about 10s. Moreover, when the wall mounted boiler burns water, it burns with a large fire before reaching the set temperature, which also increases the use of gas.
After the heating is stopped, the maintenance of the whole heating system must not be ignored. Effective maintenance can not only prolong the service life of the equipment, but also ensure its normal operation in the next heating season.
