The weather is getting colder. The temperature has dropped sharply in the past few days. The temperature in the south is around 0 degrees. Needless to say, the temperature in the north is as low as . The heating in many homes operates almost 24 hours a day, making the originally cold house feel as warm as spring. So, here comes the question, what should I do if the heating pipe is frozen? Don’t worry! Let’s follow Brother Jinqiaqi to find out more.
Keywords: How to deal with frozen heating pipes
[1/ Conduct a tapping experiment to determine the frozen location. 】
Once you find that the radiator in your home is frozen, you must first determine the frozen position instead of turning on the heating, because if you turn on the heating rashly, the water in the heating pipe may not flow and explode. Therefore, you must first determine the frozen location before you can "prescribe the right medicine."
When a frozen heating pipe is tapped, a crisp "ping-ping-ping-pong-ping" sound will usually occur. The user must determine the frozen position by tapping. Then, find some waste cotton cloth to wrap the heating pipe, and repeatedly pour hot water on it. This method can force the frozen position to melt.
[2/The method of burning with fire. 】
This method has certain feasibility, but is more dangerous. It is suitable for pipes where smoke will not accumulate. The method is similar to the tapping method, which is to use fire on the frozen position. When grilling, be sure to keep the fire source farther away from the heating pipe and pay attention to fire safety.
[3/Use hot tape to heat the frozen heating pipe. 】
hot posts are somewhat similar to warm babies, they will generate heat. Users can buy some thermal stickers and stick them on the frozen return pipe , wrap it with cotton fabric as insulation material , and then wrap it with a layer of plastic on the outermost layer to prevent heat from escaping. This method has certain feasibility, but the results are relatively slow.
[Four/overall disassembly and assembly. 】
If the above two methods do not work, you can ask the installation master to disassemble the frozen radiator as a whole and bake it in a warm room or next to the stove to melt the ice cubes to solve the problem. This method will take longer.
[5/Replace the pipe. 】
If the heating pipe is severely frozen and a large area has been frozen to death, and the above methods cannot solve the problem, then you can only contact the merchant and a professional installer to replace the pipe, but this will cost a lot.
Warm reminder:
When the temperature is low in winter, pipes can easily become stiff due to freezing and can easily break. To prevent heating pipes from freezing, a lot of preventive work needs to be done in advance. For example, add several layers of insulation to the pipes, and turn on the heating in time to allow a continuous flow of hot water in the pipes, so that they are less likely to freeze.
