1. Can the floor heating leak be changed to a radiator?
1. Yes, but trouble
The floor heating leak is It can be changed to radiator heating, but it is very troublesome, because the floor heating is hidden under the floor. If you don’t plan to destroy the current decoration, you can give up floor heating and choose surface-mounted radiators. However, it requires a professional plumbing master to operate, and must not be changed by yourself, otherwise it will be more troublesome to leave a legacy.
2. The temperature of the radiator will decrease if the floor heating is changed to a radiator
If the user changes the floor heating method to a radiator, the temperature will drop significantly, because the two There is a marked difference in the temperature entering the room. Taking the severe cold period as an example, the temperature of the geothermal water inlet pipe is generally around 55 degrees Celsius, while the temperature of the radiator water inlet pipe should reach 65 to 70 degrees Celsius. effect.
3. It is also not advisable to install radiators under the floor heating system.
In the geothermal system, it is also not advisable to install radiators. Because the geothermal system is coiled many times indoors, the water flow encounters a lot of resistance, and when it is designed, it provides a large pressure. If a radiator is added to the geothermal system, the resistance in the radiator is relatively small, and the water flow of the geothermal system will circulate directly from the radiator, resulting in only the relatively high temperature of the radiator, and almost no circulation in the original geothermal system.
Second, what to do if the floor heating water inlet pipe is not hot
1. If it is caused by the air preventing heat transfer, then the floor heating needs to be Close the return valve, then carefully open the water supply valve; then close all branch valves of the floor heating. In this way, the gas in the floor heating can be discharged and removed by the pressure of the pipeline.
2. If the water inlet pipe is blocked by scale, then the scale on the floor heating pipe can be cleaned. This will solve the heat problem. The method of cleaning is also relatively simple. Open the floor heating air release valve. Then connect the water pipe to the installation port of the water outlet valve of the floor heating, and first close the main return water valve of the floor heating. Then open the main water inlet valve. Turn on the water separator, and then you can start to discharge the sewage from the floor heating. Stop until you see that the released water turns into clear water.
3. It is necessary to remove the Y-type filter valve, and then remove the filter. Then use tap water to clean the solid impurities in the filter, if it is really stubborn, you can brush it with a toothbrush. Next, take a closer look to see if the mesh port of the filter is still blocked. If OK, re-install it on the Y-strainer angle valve.
The above introduction is about whether the floor heating water leakage can be changed to a radiator and how to deal with the unheated water inlet pipe of the floor heating. I hope to help more users achieve the effect of keeping warm and survive the cold winter. In fact, there may be various problems with floor heating, such as water leakage or whether the floor heating is not hot, etc. These have different reasons, so the solution should also be targeted, and cannot blindly follow the trend.
