    First of all, it depends on the heating situation of your home, if your home is connected by central heating, it cannot be replaced, and it must be changed before heating.

    Due to the characteristics of the material itself, aluminum alloy is acid-resistant, oxidation-resistant, but prone to alkaline corrosion, steel has high strength, can resist a certain alkalinity, but is prone to oxidation corrosion, copper corrosion resistance is good, but the mechanical strength is low, so it is difficult to have a radiator in any environment can be adapted. The state requires that aluminum alloy radiators and steel radiators with wall thickness below must be treated with internal anti-corrosion, coated with internal anti-corrosion coating, and aluminum alloy radiators must be made of special non-metallic or bimetallic composite pipe fittings, and aluminum threads shall not be directly connected with steel pipes to prevent electrochemical corrosion.

    The radiator of the Vera radiator is good, the response of the residents used has been good, beautiful and generous, the color of the heating for several years is still very bright, not old at all, and the heat dissipation effect is the same as when I first bought it, and there are few quality problems. There is also a professional installation and maintenance team. wg

    Radiators have the function of keeping warm, and in the past, cast iron radiators were mostly used, but now radiators of more materials have been developed. Cast iron radiators have gradually withdrawn from the market stage, steel radiators, copper-aluminum composite radiators, aluminum radiators and other new radiators are better than cast iron radiators in terms of material and production process.

    In general, turn off the main heating valve in and out of your home to drain the heating water in your home from a low level. After this treatment, the radiator can be replaced. If it belongs to the heating method of each floor with a pipe and each house in parallel, generally there is a valve on the inlet and outlet pipes of each group of heating, which is closed, and the radiator can be replaced after the water is discharged from below.

    If there is no inlet and outlet valve for this group of radiators, you can only close the main valve of the inlet and outlet of the riser, drain the water from the lower part of the radiator in your house, and then replace the radiator. This situation will affect the heating of neighbors on each floor, so you should be fully prepared in advance and complete it as soon as possible.

    Summary. Hello dear! It's a pleasure to serve you.

    1. The original radiator installation location and pipeline connection method are not installed at will, but are reasonably designed, according to the characteristics of the house, the design of the district heating system, the degree of housing insulation and many other factors. Therefore, users should try to change the pipes as little as possible when replacing the radiator, and the installation position should give priority to the position of the original radiator. 2. If the radiator is replaced, the user should try to choose the size of the radiator according to the heat dissipation of the original radiator, if the original heat dissipation cannot be obtained, it needs to be estimated according to the size of the house, orientation, floor and window size and other factors.

    For example, if the radiator dissipates 329 watts and the room area is 22 square meters, the number of radiators required for this room is 22 (329 100) 7.

    Hello dear! It's a pleasure to serve you. 1. The original radiator installation position and pipeline connection method are not installed at will, they are all reasonably designed, and are set according to many factors such as the characteristics of the house, the design of the heating system in the residential area, the degree of insulation of the house, etc., if the original system balance is destroyed by excessive changes, there are great safety hazards under the burial search, and the probability of radiator leakage and bursting increases.

    Therefore, users should try to change the pipes as little as possible when replacing the radiator, and the installation position should give priority to the position of the original radiator. 2. If the radiator is replaced, the user should try to choose the size of the radiator according to the heat dissipation of the original radiator, if the original heat dissipation cannot be obtained, it needs to be estimated according to the size of the house, orientation, floor and window size and other factors. For example, if the radiator dissipates 329 watts and the room area is 22 square meters, then the number of heaters with leakage front in this room is 22 (329 100) 7.

    3. In the process of radiator replacement construction, safety airtightness is the most critical, and we must pay attention to the place where there can be no water leakage. The heating system is a durable consumer goods that need a period of verification, so the necessary test is indispensable, usually when replacing the construction, the worker will reserve the valve on the pipeline, and the stamping test should be carried out after installation, to prove that there is no running, rising, dripping, leaking phenomenon is qualified. 4. It should be noted that if the user community belongs to one household and one valve, then the valve needs to be closed and then the heating is ready to be replaced.

    If the user community belongs to the series collective heating, it is necessary to transform the heating pipe in advance, otherwise closing the valve will affect the heating of the neighbor with cracks, so it is necessary to connect a pipe to connect the water inlet and outlet to make it close into an integral series system to ensure the normal circulation of hot water. The general manager must find a professional to operate as well.

    Do you need to replace your radiators at home?

    1. Can the temperature be increased by replacing the radiator?

    Is it possible to increase the temperature by replacing the radiator? On this issue, the personal opinion given must first confirm the specific situation of the radiator in our home. Because the radiator situation in the home is different, the result of replacing it is not necessarily to increase the room temperature.

    Therefore, before we plan to replace the radiator, we must first confirm the condition of the radiator in the home. Specifically, please check the following questions.

    The inside of the radiator needs to be checked. The internal condition of the radiator is that due to the perennial use, there may be a layer of rust on the inside of the radiator.

    In addition, as the service life increases, there is a layer of substance adhering to the inner wall of the radiator. The presence of these problems does affect the use of radiators. Like the old cast iron radiators, these problems may arise as the service life increases.

    So before replacing, we need to check the inside of the radiator, at this time we need to remove the radiator, and then check the specific situation inside the radiator. If there is severe rust or a layer of material attached, it needs to be replaced.

    Confirm that the number of radiators is sufficient. Because we are worried that the number of radiators is not enough.

    But we can't blindly add radiators. We need to simply estimate the number of radiators needed. For example, how is the number of radiators installed in our bedrooms calculated?

    First of all, we need to calculate the heat load required in the bedroom, which is the heat. If our bedroom is 20 square meters and each square meter is calculated as 100 watts, then the heat required in the bedroom is 2000 watts. Then we look at the amount of heat dissipated by the radiator monolith.

    For example, the heat dissipation capacity of a single piece is 200 watts, so the number of radiators needed at this time is 2kw 200 watts. The result was 10 tablets. After that, check the number of radiators in our home.

    Replacement suggestions: If the radiators in our home have been used for a long time and are old-fashioned cast iron radiators, then I personally recommend that you replace these radiators. Because the thermal conductivity of the old-fashioned cast iron radiator is not very good, but with the increase of service life, there will be substances that affect the thermal conductivity inside, so its heat dissipation will become worse and worse.

    The temperature will increase after the replacement. We need to check the number of radiators we need at home. Generally, we first determine the material of the radiator, and then confirm the height of the radiator, so that we can confirm the amount of heat dissipation of each piece of the radiator.

    Then count out the number of radiators we need. If it is found that the radiators installed in our room are less than the calculated number of radiators, then I personally recommend that you replace them with new ones. Add two to three pieces to our calculations.

    Because the heat dissipation of the radiator is designed according to standard working conditions, but we may not reach this temperature when we actually function.

    1. The radiator has a certain lifespan, and it will end after the life of the grandchildren or because of the water quality of the family, which causes serious oxidation and corrosion, resulting in water leakage.

    2. In the past, it was a radiator made of cast iron, and the iron would corrode if it was in contact with water for a long time, and the appearance would be damaged and unsightly over time, and the inside would also be scaled and blocked to affect the radiator.

    3. The national standard stipulates that some radiators cannot be used again, so they should be replaced, and the new radiators that are now popular, such as steel radiators and copper-aluminum composite radiators.

    Although the radiator manufacturer will explain the service life of the radiator when purchasing, the use time of the radiator fluctuates due to the quality of the radiator or the influence of water quality. Sometimes the use time of the radiator can exceed the service life of the radiator, but sometimes it is insufficient.

    Then you can only wait for the radiator to leak before you know how to replace it? In fact, this is not the case, because sometimes the problem of radiators is not only reflected in water leakage, but also in the case that the radiator is not hot or consumes a lot of energy.

    1. The main body of the radiator is leaking.

    Water leakage of radiators is a common problem in our daily life. There are two main causes of water leakage: one is water quality problems, and the other is product quality problems.

    If the oxygen content in the water quality is too high because the water quality in some areas is relatively special, it will cause the steel radiator to be prone to corrosion and water leakage. In this case, it is necessary to install and use corrosion-resistant copper-aluminum composite radiators.

    If the leakage caused by the water quality problem is ruled out, it is the quality of the radiator itself. If the radiator in your home has leaked, immediately eliminate the cause and repair or replace it as soon as possible to avoid other losses such as soaking of furniture floors caused by water leakage.

    Second, the heat dissipation effect of the radiator decreases.

    As the use time increases, the performance of the radiator equipment decreases. For example, due to the lack of maintenance and maintenance of the heating pipe for many years, the radiator pipeline is blocked, and a large amount of scale and sediment accumulation leads to the fouling of the inner wall, the thermal resistance increases, and the heat dissipation effect of the radiator will also be greatly reduced.

    At this time, it is necessary to carry out professional radiator cleaning, if the cleaning is completed and the previous heat dissipation effect is restored, then it can be used normally. If the stubborn scale is blocked, resulting in poor heat dissipation after cleaning, it is recommended that you replace the radiator with a new one.

    3. The radiator will quickly bump off the paint or even deform.

    If the radiator at home is bumped during use and the coating is peeled, you can consider using a paint touch-up pen to repair it yourself, if you don't repair it, the potential harm will be greater if you use it for a long time. If the radiator is deformed due to bumps during use, then it is necessary to check whether the radiator is damaged, and if it is damaged, it is recommended to replace the radiator.

    The life of the radiator is about 10 years, of course, its life is related to the material, quality, maintenance, etc., if the quality is not good or the use is improper, it will shorten the life of the radiator.

    Generally speaking, radiators that meet the quality standards can be replaced once in about ten years on average. The service life of radiators varies depending on the material. The manufacturing process of each brand of radiator is different, and the service life is also long and short.

    The service life of copper and aluminum radiators is maintained at 20 to 30 years, and the service life of radiators made of mild steel is more than 10 years. As long as you ensure that the technology and water conditions match during installation, you can basically use it until the end of the shelf life. However, a large number of users do not maintain it well in actual use, and the radiator is scrapped early.

You can use a semi-dry rag to wipe off the blackened part of the wall, if the radiator is used for too long, it is difficult to wipe off with a wet rag, you can use sandpaper to rub it after the heating period is over, scrape off the original blackened surface, and then repair it with paint.
