Routine Maintenance of Solar Heater
When we talk about solar energy or the compact solar geyser, it refers to a kind of radiation energy from the sun. It is reusable and is basically a source of some other kinds of energy, such as wind power, tidal energy, or the potential energy of water. Solar heater could transform the sun energy into thermal energy, thus it will satisfy the needs of people's daily life or industrial production.
The following is the solar heater routine maintenance:
1. When use a solar heater for the first time, there may be dirt or smoke flavor in the water delivery pipe, run on the tap for a few minutes and you are fine.
2. The water in the solar heater should get regularly blow down according to the situation of local water, the drainage time is better to be in the morning heat collector with low temperature.
3. Make regular dirt elimination on the surface of solar heaters in area that is dust-fall, raining can play as a self-cleaning sometimes, and keeping a clean surface can realize higher thermal efficiency.
4. When come into continuous sunny days, if you do not use hot water for a few days, the temperature will be very high. When using the solar heater, open the cold water first so as not to get burned.
5. Faucet outlet generally has a filter device, the debris in the water pipe will be gathered in the network, and it should be regularly removed for cleaning, which can help make the water flow smoothly and maintain the endothermic effect.
6. Solar heater needs cleaning, disinfection and inspection every two to three years. The users can usually do it themselves. Disinfectants such as chlorine are available in the market. Put some to the inlet, let it soak for a while, and then release, this can play a certain effect of disinfection and sterilization.
7. In winter, it is very common that the pipeline is frozen; when you find out that the pipeline has been frozen but not cracking, it can do automatic unfreeze when the temperature rises generally. Air blower can be used, or you can wrap a towel around the pipe, and then pour warm water slowly. You can never use fire, tap on a pipe or use hot boiling water directly, as the pipe will burst. Freezing and blocking for too many times will cause crack on the pipe, so the pipeline insulation measures need to be strengthened.
Here is some useful information about the solar heater routine maintenance which is also useful to the Compact solar geyser:
1. Can we drink from the inner tank?
Unless it is drinkable, pressure bearing solar heater that is specially designed, never drink water inside. Although the stainless steel solar geyser materials of ordinary solar heater is of food grade, the repeatedly heated water prone to produce nitrate, nitrite and other harmful substances, even being used to wash the dishes are not recommended.
2. What are the standards of choosing and buying?
There are six standards that need to pay attention. Including durable standard (better materials can guarantee longer service life), heat collecting standard (vacuum tubes are the most important factor, good vacuum tubes are able to work normally for a relatively longer time), heat preservative standard, scale standard (for industrial use), cold-resistant standard (to be used in winter) and accessory standard (to get better application effect). With these suggestions and information, you can have effective solar heater routine maintenance to make your solar energy heater keep working effectively.
