The floor heating pipe is the end heat dissipation system of the floor heating system. Only when the floor heating pipe maintains good heat dissipation performance, the floor heating system can exert the best heating effect. Some people may wonder: the floor heating pipe has been buried deep underground, will its heat dissipation effect be weakened? The answer is of course yes. If the floor heating pipe is not cleaned for a long time, it will produce scale, which will seriously affect the heat dissipation effect of the floor heating.
Why do floor heating pipes need to be cleaned？
The floor heating pipe is filled with water. The water contains a lot of substances, which can be roughly divided into two categories: one is minerals. Calcium and magnesium ions are one of them. Changes in water temperature will combine calcium and magnesium ions to form Dirt; the other type is microorganisms, which will attach to the pipe wall as the water temperature rises to form biological slime. In addition to the inherent complex shape of the floor heating coil and the long pipeline, pipe scale will form after a certain period of time, which will cause pipe embolism and affect the heat dissipation effect. Therefore, the floor heating pipe needs to be cleaned.
What impact will the floor heating pipe cause if it is not cleaned？
According to relevant statistics, during the heating process, every increase of 1mm of dirt on the inner wall of the floor heating pipe will reduce the ambient temperature by 6°C, which not only affects the normal temperature, but also causes a waste of energy. Continued use will cause pipeline embolism. The solution can only be solved by removing the ground and replacing the floor heating pipe, which will cause property loss and life inconvenience to the floor heating users.
How often do the floor heating pipes be cleaned?
The floor heating service life exceeds two heating periods, and regular maintenance and maintenance are required. And it’s best to clean it once when you just enter the house, because there are some unprofessional underfloor heating constructions, and there will be impurities, stones, and cement in the pipeline, which can easily cause blockage of the underfloor heating pipeline in a short time.
When can the floor heating pipe be cleaned？
Floor heating pipes can be cleaned all year round. It is the best time to clean after the heating is stopped. The dirt, biological sludge, impurities and bacteria formed in the pipes during the heating period can be thoroughly removed in time. In order to prevent the formation of deposits in the pipelines and cause pipeline embolism, so that the floor heating pipes cleanly welcome the next heating period.
There are several ways to clean the floor heating pipe
There are many ways to clean floor heating, such as tap water washing, chemical washing, high-pressure projectile washing, and the combination of pulsed physical wave and medicine.
How to clean floor heating pipes？
1. Open the floor heating hot water inlet pipe;
2. Pour the floor heating pipe cleaning solution into the floor heating pipe according to the instructions;
3. Make sure that the floor heating pipe is full of water, close the cold water valve, and start the circulating pump to circulate for 30 minutes;
4. Open the cold water valve and drain the turbid water;
5. Rinse the floor heating pipe with clean water until clean water flows out from the outlet pipe, and the cleaning work is completed.
The above is the summary of floor heating pipe maintenance and cleaning knowledge. Floor heating pipes need regular maintenance and cleaning to ensure the longevity and efficient operation of floor heating floor heating systems, so floor heating pipe cleaning cannot be ignored.
