Methods of cleaning, purging the heating battery.

Unfortunately, not all residents of apartment buildings can boast of warmth in their own house. This is due to the fact that now boiler houses are weakly warming water, but, in addition, there are other reasons. Very often, the cold in a house or apartment is a consequence of the system of breathing, or the appearance of scale inside the pipes. In this article, we will tell you how to clean and blow out heating batteries.  

How to determine that air in batteries?  

To do this, you need to listen to how your heating system works. Gurgles or water transfusion are often observed. If there is no air in the system, you should not hear any gurgles and sounds. Another sign of air appearance in the system is the temperature difference in different parts of the battery.

That is, below the battery is hot, cold or vice versa. Half of the pipe can be hot and half is cold. Moreover, most often the riser is quite hot. This suggests that the heating is supplied to the system, but does not work due to the fact that air has accumulated in the radiator.

How to blow out heating batteries: how to lower the air from the system of the Maevsky crane?

Quite often, after heating is supplied to the battery, some areas may remain cold. Usually this happens in the upper part of the radiator, which indicates the bullying of the system.

Instructions:

  • The method of purging, cleaning the battery depends on the design of the entire system. In private houses, usually on such radiators, a system for pulling is mounted, which is a maevsky crane. This is a kind of valve.
  • In order to pull the air, it is necessary to take a screwdriver, wrap the circle of this tap with a cloth, substitute the container under the radiator, and gradually start unscrewing. If the system really has air, then you will hear hissing.
  • This suggests that indeed air bubbles are in the system, and it is filled with water. As soon as everything stops hissing, instead of air, a thin stream of water begins to go out, it is necessary to tighten the tap with a screwdriver and wipe the battery dry.

The fact is that in the system in which there is air, scale is formed in these areas, and batteries overheat in those areas where there are water and are cold, where air contains. Over time, such batteries are very quickly destroyed and impulses can form. The main disadvantage is the low temperature in the room. What to do if the system does not have a Maevsky crane?

Instructions:

  • In this case, you need to find the highest point in the house. If this is an apartment building, then this point is located directly at the very top of the heating system, they are often mounted on the roof.
  • It is necessary to open the appropriate valve and lower the air. Often such valves, as well as cranes, are also mounted at home. If you do not have them, then we advise in the summer to take care of the installation of this tap on batteries.

In modern bimetallic radiators, an automatic drain valve is very often installed.

Instructions:

  • It works on the principle of a conventional check valve. If the system is in the system, the valve opens, its descent is carried out. Unfortunately, such valves are not mounted on ordinary cast-iron batteries or on aluminum, due to the structure of the material.
  • Such a valve works great only in very clean water. Therefore, the appropriate filters are usually installed before installation. Because any Sorinka is able to score this valve, as a result of which it will not fulfill its functions.
  • Most often, such devices are installed when it is possible to completely redo the entire heating system. Then the corresponding filters and automatic valves are installed. Thus, interventions in the system from the person and user are not required. The valve itself suffers the necessary air.
