In this year's winter, a news about heating problems caused a heated discussion on social **. One resident complained on social media: "This year, it seems that no matter which district, the heating is not hot. This sparked a lot of discussion, with many people expressing their desire for a warmer living environment in cold weather.
In the discussion of this issue, a device called a "heating circulation pump" was mentioned, claiming that after the installation of this pump, the radiator would become hot to the hand. This has caused some people to be curious, while others have expressed concern that such a device could pose a series of problems.
One resident said in a comment: "If you report for repair, the maintenance staff will come and release water to you." "It makes you wonder why you should fix the heating system by draining waterCould it be that it has something to do with that "heating circulation pump"?
Another netizen responded: "Yes, but I heard that someone installed that kind of pump, and the radiator is hot." This seems to imply that the indoor temperature has increased after the installation of this "heating circulation pump", but it has also brought some unexpected *** such as the radiator becoming overheated.
However, someone warned: "Pretend that the final outcome is either to be reported or the neighbor blocks the door and scolds the street." This suggests that some residents may be unhappy with the installation of "heating circulation pumps" by their neighbors without permission, and may even take some drastic actions to protect their rights.
What is that kind of pump?This question sparked my interest, and I began to gain insight into the principle and use of such a device. What exactly is "that pump"?After investigation, it was found that "that kind of pump" refers to a "heating circulation pump", which is a small device installed on the indoor heating pipe. Its function is to increase the flow rate of heating hot water by increasing the pressure of the indoor heating system, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the radiator and raising the indoor temperature.
However, it should be noted that this pump is mainly suitable for self-heating (independent heating) users or medium and large households in the heating system circulation, floor heating hot water circulation, and is not suitable for central heating systems. Why is it forbidden to install "that kind of pump"?The principle of a central heating system is relatively simple: there are two main pipes, one for the inlet and one for the outlet. The two pipes are connected by a main pipe. The pressure of the inlet pipe is greater than that of the outlet pipe, forming a certain pressure difference, so that the circulation of water is formed in the sub-household pipe.
However, if a household is equipped with a heating circulation pump, it will cause the pressure of the indoor pipe of the household to increase, so that more hot water from the inlet pipe will flow into the outlet pipe, thus causing the pressure of the outlet pipe of the household to increase. However, due to the decrease in the pressure difference between the main pipes of other users in the same building, the water flow speed in the pipeline is slowed down, and the hot water cannot flow in quickly, thus affecting the heating effect of other users.
This kind of behavior is essentially an encroachment on the neighbor's heating rights, so it is considered inappropriate. Is it illegal to install "that kind of pump"?Legally, it is not illegal to install a "heating circulation pump", but it is considered a violation. The heating company has the right to order the demolition and may impose corresponding penalties. The specific penalties will be implemented according to the local heating regulations of each province and city. How can you tell if a neighbor has installed "that kind of pump" in violation of regulations?
To determine whether a neighbor has installed a "heating circulating pump" in violation of regulations, you can pay attention to the following points: confirm that the main valve in the house is in a normal open state, if all the radiators in the room suddenly do not heat, there may be a problem. Check the inlet and return pipe temperatures of your indoor heating pipes, if they are the same or if the return pipe temperature is higher, there may be a problem. Observe if the temperature of the inlet and return pipes of the neighbor's pipe well is abnormally high. Pay attention to the neighbor's pipe well for vibrating sounds.
However, it is not easy to locate a household that has installed a "heating pump" in violation of the law, and even if it is possible, it may be difficult to resolve the report due to the inability to enter the home. Residents have come up with a variety of solutions to this problem: drain valve hose to drain water. By installing a drain valve, the water is drained, which reduces the water pressure throughout the building, prompting the property to further identify the source of the problem.
Heat meters. The heat meter is used to monitor the inlet and outlet water temperature, flow rate, heat power and other information, and realize automatic stop or billing according to the flow rate. The whole building is rolled up. After installing the "heating circulating pump" in one or two households, other residents may feel that they are being swept up, and they also spend money to install the pump, which eventually leads to the whole building being rolled up and the temperature returning to the original level.
When dealing with this issue, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the rights and interests of all parties and seek a solution that is both reasonable and fair. It may require the intervention and coordination of relevant parties such as the property, the heating company, etc., to ensure that every resident can enjoy reasonable heating services.
In this story, the issue of heating becomes the focus of discussion in the community, and the "heating circulating pump" becomes both beneficial and harmful. How to maintain the normal operation of the overall heating system while ensuring individual needs has become a difficult problem that needs to be solved together. This also reminds us that while enjoying the convenience brought by technology, we should also be cautious about using some equipment that may bring *** to maintain the harmony and warmth of the community.
