As the heating system enters home heating, how to maintain the radiator has become an important topic, and many businesses have made answers in this regard. For example, steel radiators should be maintained with full water; Don't put anything on the radiator when working, which will affect the heat dissipation. When replacing the radiator, it needs to be operated by professionals, etc. Besides, what else should we pay attention to in terms of radiator maintenance?

1. Independent heating users are not allowed to switch on and off at will

Many heating users have transformed central heating into independent heating, thinking that the heating switch is optional and very convenient. However, such a random switch will increase energy consumption and be harmful to health. If the heating system is turned off for too long, the house will be completely cooled, and raising the temperature again will consume a lot of energy to achieve the heating effect. Therefore, although independent heating is convenient to use, it is unscientific to keep the system on and off, which will not only increase the use of gas, but also endanger our health at low temperature.

2. Radiator fulcrum maintenance

Many users often pack radiators again in order to make them fit into the design style of the whole home in order to have a beautiful decoration. Some users even fix the two fulcrums of the radiator with cement, which brings unnecessary trouble to the home.

The two legs of the radiator cannot be fixed, because in the heating process, due to different temperatures, the heating pipeline will expand and contract. Therefore, under the physical action of thermal expansion and contraction, the radiator itself will shift.

If the fulcrum of the radiator is sealed and fixed with cement, the radiator is bound to be unable to move, and the pipe connection of the radiator will bear great pressure. If the pressure accumulates to a certain extent, it will cause damage to the pipe fittings, which will lead to accidents such as radiator leakage.

Therefore, although it is the two legs and two fulcrums supporting the radiator, it also needs to be maintained. Otherwise, the consequences of not paying attention to the maintenance of the radiator itself are the same. At first, the radiator is blocked, at last, the radiator bursts and leaks.

3. The removed radiator also needs maintenance

The radiator cannot be exposed to the sun after being removed. The rubber pad will age and become brittle after being exposed to the sun, so it cannot play a sealing role. The removed radiator is easy to rust due to contact with air, so try not to remove the radiator. The removed radiator should be placed in a dry environment, and all openings should be blocked to prevent rust.
