How to achieve the desired temperature? Adjusting the tap on the heating battery
The radiator tap allows you to control the flow of circulating coolant, including shutting it off in case of checking or flushing the batteries.
With the help of this device It is possible to turn off the radiators without pressure testing the main heating system.
You can do it with improvised means! How to bleed air from a radiator if there is no Mayevsky tap?
The reason for the low efficiency of the heating system is often air that accumulates in the pipes and radiators. To eliminate the problems, it is necessary to release excess air from the radiators.
Usually used for this purpose Mayevsky crane, but if it is not there, other methods are used.
An air lock has formed - in this case, how can you bleed the air from the heating radiator?
The air is excellent heat insulator. This makes it unsuitable as a heat carrier in closed heating systems.
If air gets into the radiators, it reduces their effectiveness, and also can partially block the flow of water in pipes.
To ensure that the heating system operates normally, it is best to remove air from the radiators. This operation is called "deflation" of batteries.
Reasons for malfunctions: why do heating batteries make noise in a private house and how to fix it?
Noisy batteries - an unnatural phenomenon, causing significant discomfort to residents of a private house. The volume of crackling, splashing, and gurgling is not always evenly distributed throughout the entire system.
Some rooms in the house do not suffer, while in some rooms it is simply impossible to be present. The problem is aggravated by the use of metal elements when installing radiators - metal conducts vibrations perfectly, making the hum loud and pervasive.
Identifying the cause of the noise is a priority task, since extraneous sounds indicate problems with a system that is vital in the cold season. Some of the causes, if left unattended, will lead to to failure of the heating circuit, accidents or major material damage.
Selection criteria and painting rules: paint for heating radiators
The main criterion that is used when choosing paint to protect radiators is its ability to maintain its properties under the influence of high temperatures.
The surfaces of water radiators become hot up to 70–75 degrees, and the steam heating elements are up to 100 and above.
Where does this terrible knocking come from? What to do if the heating radiators are noisy
The operation of the central heating is practically unnoticeable for city dwellers. However, the slightest deviations from the norm can cause panic.
Meanwhile, a correctly installed system of pipes and heating batteries works unnoticed and silently. The emergence of extraneous sounds from heating elements signals the occurrence of a malfunction.
