Radiators are always easily forgotten by people in the scorching summer. In fact, in order to maximize the heat dissipation effect of heating radiators and steel radiators in the new heating season, steel radiators also need maintenance when not in operation, especially in summer. Otherwise, it will affect its appearance and service life. So, what are the maintenance and upkeep precautions for steel radiators during non-heating summer seasons?
Precautions For Summer Maintenance Of Heating Radiators
1. The first task we need to do is to ensure that the heating system is in a wet maintenance state, that is, to make the system fully maintained.
Many people are accustomed to releasing water immediately after heating is stopped to prevent radiators from rusting due to long-term water retention, which is a common misconception. The water in the system is corrosion-resistant, which can effectively block the corrosion of air on steel heating radiatorsradiators and pipelines, extending the service life of the entire system. If you are not satisfied with water maintenance, the heating service life will not be as long as the heating service life of full water maintenance.
2. Wet maintenance also has a great advantage. Generally speaking, the heating period and non-heating period alternate with each other. If wet maintenance is not carried out, the internal and external surfaces of the heating system will experience changes in a humid, dry, and humid environment. They will also undergo repeated chemical reactions with oxygen in the air. Cause the oxidized layer to fall off along with the water filling and deposit in valves, tees, and other areas. Over time, this will affect the hot water circulation of the system and ultimately affect the heating effect. Wet maintenance of the system will greatly reduce the likelihood of such situations occurring.
3. Of course, daily cleaning of radiators is also important. You can use a cloth to quietly scrub them. If there are stubborn stains, you can soak them in soapy water and clean them with a cloth. This not only ensures that the appearance of the radiator is not damaged, prevents oxidation and corrosion. And which also affects the performance of the system. But also makes the indoor environment look clean and beautiful, fully utilizing the function of the radiator to decorate the home.
4. In addition to the above maintenance methods, users also need to pay attention to checking the heating system in a timely manner during summer. Due to the thermal expansion and contraction effect of the heating system, some joints, air leaks, and other issues may occur in the system. Therefore, attention should be paid to inspecting various components of the system to prevent water leakage and damage to the economic industry.
Although we no longer use radiators in summer, maintenance is an essential part. The correct and appropriate maintenance methods can not only improve the heating effect of radiators, but also extend their service life. After heating is completed, the radiator vent valve should be closed and the radiator should not be replaced immediately. When cleaning the exterior, it should be gentle and prevent vibration, so as to extend the service life of the radiator.
