The radiator is made of copper and aluminum in line with the radiator, with exquisite workmanship. The radiator has the effect of heat dissipation, high work efficiency, and can continuously stabilize the indoor temperature, which is loved and supported by many families.

Next, the editor will introduce the precautions for radiator cleaning and the service life of radiator.

1. Precautions for radiator cleaning

1. Close the return valve

In order to ensure safety, close the return water valve when cleaning the radiator, and then use a wrench to gently unscrew the radiator by hand.

However, when the plug is gently unscrewed by hand, some water will flow out of the radiator. At this time, you can use the water in the basin to rinse it accordingly.

2. Flush the radiator

When flushing the radiator, rinse until the water flowing out of the radiator is relatively clear, if the water flowing out is relatively clear, the temperature control valve can be closed.

3. Different radiator cleaning methods

When cleaning the copper-aluminum composite radiator, you can use useless iron wire to tie a damp rag at one end, and pass the other end through the hole of the radiator. Then while shaking the rope, slowly pull the rag, repeating several times to clean the radiator.

2. The service life of the radiator

1. Usually, damp things should not be placed on the radiator. Do not tap the radiator or hang things on the radiator during use, which will reduce the service life.

2. Steel radiators are suitable for central heating systems with full water maintenance. When purchasing a radiator, choose a radiator with anti-corrosion technology, otherwise it will be easily corroded and cause water leakage.

Although the aluminum radiator has strong heat transfer ability, acid resistance and oxidation resistance, it is prone to alkaline corrosion. Since most of the water quality in my country is alkaline, aluminum radiators and aluminum alloy radiators are rarely used.

3. The heating position cannot be changed arbitrarily. The heating position should not be moved at will, and it is best to keep it stable. If the position is changed, it will cause an imbalance in the indoor temperature.

On the other hand, once the pipes and radiators are moved, it is very easy to leak, causing unnecessary losses.

Editor’s summary: The precautions for cleaning the radiator and the service life of the radiator are introduced here, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
