Tap water often contains elements such as calcium and magnesium salts, as well as parts of silt. It is these constituents that ensure the creation of certain deposits in the pipes of the heating system, due to which clogs occur. Today it is a very common household problem. The consequences of such a clog can ultimately lead to a decrease in the level of heat supply in the room, but at the same time heating costs can increase significantly.
Based on our many years of experience, we can confidently state that after the first decade of operation, the heating system pipes are half clogged with various deposits.
Today there are several technologies for cleaning heating systems, which are considered traditional, however, most of them are directly related to the need to dismantle the pipeline and almost completely disassemble the heating devices, which are most often expensive. Such work necessarily causes discomfort for those who live or work in the room. And okay would be one inconvenience, but the traditional methods of cleaning also do not meet the requirements of efficiency.
What is flushing and cleaning the heating system.
By heating flushing specialists mean the process of flushing both individual pipes and the entire heating system as a whole. To implement this method today, various methods are used. The main thing – to achieve the desired result and clean the heating system from the inside of the formed plaque. According to the assurances of experts, it is necessary to carry out this procedure for any system every five years.
This statement is easily confirmed in practice, because it has already been established that it is during this period that the heating efficiency decreases. The problem here is not even the deterioration of heating, but the great risk of an emergency situation.
Why heating flushing and cleaning is necessary.
If in five years of using a heating system there has been a significant drop in efficiency from using that system, then cleaning is definitely needed and urgently. It’s hard to believe that just one millimeter of deposits inside a pipe can reduce heat transfer by a quarter. However, it really is. In such a case, not only does the energy consumption increase, but also the overall temperature in the room where the given heating system is applied drops dramatically.
What can happen if you do not flush the heating in time?
Delaying the cleaning of the heating system can lead to consequences, in some cases of a catastrophic nature. First of all, it is necessary to realize that the flushing of the heating system is part of the list of works in the service of the heating system. It is this procedure is necessary to maintain the whole system in proper condition, which significantly affects the longevity of operation. In other words, without timely flushing, the heating system will simply stop working much earlier than it is provided by the manufacturer.
More specifically, in the case of untimely flushing of heating system expensive equipment of heating unit can become worthless, and the processes that lead to the mechanical destruction of the pipes begin to run much faster. Among other things, the likelihood of an emergency situation, the elimination of which will cost a pretty penny, also increases several times. Therefore, it is quite incorrect to estimate the size of the heating system contamination, as even a small level of contamination leads to significant financial losses and deterioration of the heating system. And hence the increase in costs for the use of various heat transfer fluids. Thus, it is much cheaper to order a heating pipe cleaning service from Aercaste.
Chemical flushing of the heating system.
Today, this method of flushing the heating system is the most popular among customers due to the possibility of not having to disassemble the entire heating system for flushing. The secret is simple: this flushing method allows most of the scale and other deposits in the pipes of various nature to be dissolved and then the dissolved deposits can be easily washed out of the system. Acidic or alkaline solutions are often used for such purposes today. A separate advantage of chemical flushing is the high level of reliability, which allows you to completely clean the heating system of all the impurities. The whole process seems simple enough, if you just look from the outside.
However, without certain knowledge and skills, it is impossible to cope with the task at hand. Initially, a specialist selects from a variety of chemical reagents the most suitable composition that will fully meet the requirements of the heating system. Next, it is necessary to choose a suitable pipe corrosion inhibitor. Since not everyone has sufficient knowledge to make the right choice, a highly qualified specialist of our company always comes forward.
To introduce the solution into the heating system uses specialized flushing equipment, which with the filled in the solution is connected to the heating system. After the solution is poured into the system, it is left to circulate within the system for a certain time, and the time is determined strictly individually, based on various factors.
