In the cold winter, radiators bring us warmth and comfort. However, in order to ensure the safe and efficient operation of radiators, the following precautions need to be taken during use.
1、 Installation and commissioning phase
1. Choose legitimate products and professional installation teams
When installing radiators, it is important to choose products that are of reliable quality and meet national standards. At the same time, hire professional installers for installation to ensure a standardized and safe installation process.
2. Conduct a suppression test
After installation, a pressure test must be conducted to check for any water leakage in the pipes and radiators. The pressure of the pressure test should comply with relevant standards, generally ranging from 1.2 to 1.5 times the work pressure.
3. Adjust the temperature
Before officially using the radiator, the temperature should be adjusted. According to factors such as room size and insulation, set the temperature of the radiator reasonably to avoid excessive or insufficient temperature.
2、 Daily use stage
1. Do not arbitrarily change the position of the radiator
The installation position of the radiator is professionally designed, and any arbitrary changes may affect the heat dissipation effect and even cause problems such as water leakage. If it is indeed necessary to make changes, they must be operated by professionals.
2. Avoid blocking the radiator
Do not place debris such as clothing, curtains, etc. on or around the radiator to avoid affecting the heat dissipation effect. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain air circulation around the radiator so that heat can be better dissipated.
3. Do not release water without authorization
Some users may open the drain valve without authorization in order to use the hot water in the radiator. This is a very dangerous behavior that not only affects the normal operation of the heating system, but may also lead to accidents such as burns.
4. Pay attention to indoor humidity
Radiators can make indoor air dry during use. Humidifiers and other devices can be used to increase indoor humidity and maintain comfortable air. Meanwhile, it is important to drink plenty of water and replenish body fluids.
5. Regularly check the radiator
Regularly check the operation of the radiator, such as whether there is any water leakage, abnormal noise, or other issues. If any problems are found, it is necessary to promptly contact professional personnel for repair.
6. Reasonably adjust the temperature
Adjust the temperature of the radiator reasonably according to indoor temperature and personal needs. During the day, the temperature can be lowered appropriately, and at night it can be raised to ensure a comfortable sleeping environment. Meanwhile, it is important to avoid excessively high temperatures to prevent energy waste.
3、 Stop heating phase
1. Close the valve
After stopping the heating, it is necessary to promptly close the inlet and outlet valves of the radiator to prevent water from flowing back in the pipeline, which may cause the radiator to rust.
2. Full water maintenance
For materials such as steel radiators that are prone to rusting, full water maintenance can be performed. After stopping the heating, do not drain the water from the radiator. Let the water fill the entire radiator, which can effectively prevent rusting.
3. Clean the radiator
After stopping the heating, the radiator can be cleaned. Wipe the surface of the radiator with a soft damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For areas that are difficult to clean, specialized cleaning agents can be used for cleaning.
In short, when using radiators, it is necessary to strictly follow the relevant precautions to ensure safe and efficient use. Only in this way can radiators bring us warmth and comfort in the cold winter.
