cooling warning, blue cold wave warning, strong wind warning... It is cold with winter. However, northerners said they were not afraid, we had centralized heating; Southern Many families said that they had installed floor heating, and the "power" of floor heating will be wait and see. However, during the use of floor heating, some wrong perceptions often lead to improper use of floor heating and even damage. In this regard, the editor has compiled five common operational misunderstandings, hoping that everyone can use floor heating correctly and spend a warm and peaceful winter.
Misunderstanding 1: Turn off the floor heating if there is no one at home
Some household heating users believe that it is a waste to continue heating when there is no one at home, so even if you go out for a short period of time, the floor heating valve will be closed. Little do you know that frequent start and stop are neither energy-saving nor practical for users, and they may even easily damage the original floor heating parts. Because floor heating has good heat storage properties, when it is turned off, the heat will not dissipate immediately and will remain for a long time. When it is turned on, it needs to wait for a long time to reach the set temperature.
In fact, if you want to save energy, you can adjust the floor heating temperature to low temperature when you go out for a short time, and then heat up and heat it when you return home. If you need to travel for a long time and the outdoor temperature is lower than 0℃, in order to prevent the pipeline from being frozen and cracked, you can consider turning off the floor heating system while emptying the pipeline water or adding antifreeze .
Misunderstanding 2: The higher the temperature is set, the faster the temperature rises
Some users will think that the floor heating is too slow, which is far worse than the air conditioner. In order to quickly increase the room temperature, the indoor temperature is adjusted to a very high. In fact, the temperature rise of floor heating is slow because the water has a high heat capacity, and because the heating rate of floor heating is mainly determined by the indoor and outdoor temperature difference and indoor area. Therefore, no matter how many degrees the thermostat is set to, a certain heating time is required. Adjusting too high will only increase energy consumption.
Similarly, the floor heating temperature should not be adjusted too high in normal times. The most suitable indoor temperature in winter is around 20℃, which is the most comfortable for the human body.
Misunderstanding 3: Floor heating is not cleaned all year round
Many users have reported that after using local heating for a few years, the heating effect is "much worse than before" and "floor heating is no longer hot." A large part of this is because the floor heating has not been cleaned for many years. Because the water in the floor heating pipe is hot, the floor heating pipe is very likely to deposit scale and biological mud during use, resulting in poor heat dissipation of the pipe wall or even local blockage. The correct way is to clean the floor heating pipes regularly. The specific cleaning frequency depends on the local water quality and heating effect.

Misconception 4: Floor heating frequently exhausts or never exhausts
Before the floor heating system is operated, it is necessary to inject a certain pressure of circulating water into the floor heating system to promote the floor heating to effectively circulate and dissipate heat. Moreover, the water in the floor heating pipe will also seep into the air during heating process. The air circulation in the floor heating pipe will cause heat resistance and air blockage, which will lead to a decrease in the heating capacity of floor heating (this is also the reason why the floor heating pipes should choose Paikang anti-seepage oxygen pipeline). Therefore, it is necessary to deflate the floor heating regularly.
Of course, floor heating should not be deflated too frequently. Of course, under normal circumstances, just air once or twice a heating period. Too frequent may lead to unstable internal pressure of the pipeline, which will affect the entire heating system.
Misunderstanding 5: Furniture does not affect the heating effect of floor heating
Since floor heating transfers heat from the bottom to the top, large-area legless furniture such as sofas and tatami will hinder the heating supply of floor heating, thereby reducing the indoor temperature. Therefore, when floor heating is used for indoor heating, legless furniture should be controlled within a certain range as much as possible.
Generally speaking, the floor heating system can be used for 50 years and is a warm partner who can accompany us throughout our lives. However, if the floor heating is used incorrectly, the life of the floor heating will be greatly reduced. Therefore, before the heating season comes, we should still understand the knowledge about floor heating, use floor heating correctly, give full play to the best results of floor heating, and extend its service life.
