With the increase of service life, the carbon deposits generated by high-temperature combustion, the dust brought in by the air accumulate in the heating system, as well as the scale, sediment, and microorganisms in the waterway system, which will have an adverse impact on the heat exchange and mechanical operation parts of the heating system, reduce the service life of the heating system, and increase the failure rate and gas consumption.
Some people have done relevant comparative tests, and found that the cleaned heating system can save about 25% of gas consumption when in use, and about 1,000 gas consumption can be saved a year in a room of 100 square meters.
1. External cleaning.
The cleaning of the external unit is mainly to avoid the dust of the external unit falling into the inside of the equipment, and the cleaning of the fuselage is essential when cleaning and maintaining the heating system. Before cleaning, it is necessary to ensure that the natural gas pipeline, metal hose itself and each joint are well sealed, as well as the joints of heating and hot water pipes, radiators or floor heating are not leaking, and then wipe the fuselage with a clean rag.
2. Clean the heat exchanger.
In the process of use, because of impurities in the air, impurities in the gas or insufficient combustion, the combustion products will mix with the moisture in the flue gas of the heating system to form solid impurities, especially the low-temperature (floor heating) heating system will form more solid impurities, in this regard, you can regularly use copper brushes to remove carbon deposits and impurities on the outer surface of the main heat exchanger, so as to improve the air permeability and heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger.
3. Flue cleaning.
After a certain period of use of the heating system, impurities in the air and flue gas, insects and small animals may also block the flue and affect the smoke exhaust, so it is necessary to clean the flue regularly. Loosen the flue connecting clamp, remove the flue directly, rinse the flue with water, and stand upright for a few minutes to drain the stagnant water before installation.
4. Clean the water pump.
After the hot water inside the heating system is heated, it is easy to produce scale, which adheres to the inner wall of the pipe, resulting in the deterioration of the heat exchange effect of the systemUse a soft brush dipped in water to clean the limescale deposited on the impeller of the water pump;Use a soft brush to clean the scale deposits on the inside of the pump housing.
Finally, users need to pay attention to the fact that when cleaning the heating system, it is necessary to contact the after-sales professionals of the little squirrel wall-hung boiler for operation, and do not operate it by yourself to avoid damage to the heating system and endanger personal safety.
