What should I do if the radiator leaks and smells?

1. How to deal with radiators.

Leaking. If the radiator leakage is not very serious, you can use the following tips to deal with it first, and then ask a professional plumber to repair it.

1.Plug with aluminum wire: if the radiator leaks is small trachoma.

As a result, you can find an aluminum wire of suitable diameter and gently rivet it into the leakage with a small hammer. When riveting, remember to use moderate force to prevent trachoma from becoming bigger.

2.Stick with cotton yarn and glue: If the radiator has cracks or small eyes, you can take an appropriate amount of clean cotton yarn, dip it in some thick quick-drying paint, and then quickly plug it into the leakage, and then stick it with quick-drying glue.

Note: If the cotton yarn is not suitable to be directly stuffed by hand, you can use needles, blades, nails, etc. as tools; The amount of cotton yarn stuffed should be able to stop the water; If the water is still seeping, you should continue to stuff the cotton yarn instead of applying the glue directly.

3.With egg whites.

and cement plugging: If there are cracks or trachoma in the cast iron radiator, you can use egg white mixed with a little cement to plug it. In general, this mixture adheres very firmly to cast iron appliances.

4.Tie it with tape: If the leak is at the interface of the radiator, you can tie it directly with tape.

Note: The cleaner the tape, the better, as dusty or fine grit is easy to tie it poorly; If you can't find a suitable tape, you can cut a piece of bicycle inner tube instead; In addition to taking advantage of the elasticity and stickiness of the tape itself, it is best to tie the tape loop with wire.

2. How to deal with the odor of radiators.

There is sometimes a foul-smelling agent mixed in the heating water for collective heating, and in the event of a heating leak, the smell of this agent will spread throughout the room, causing a headache. So, how do you get rid of this odor?

1.with activated charcoal.

Activated carbon is very powerful in absorbing odors, and if the smell in the room is unpleasant, you can put some activated carbon in the corners, windowsills, and places where odors are generated. If you can't find activated charcoal, you can use charcoal for grilling meat instead.

2.Use orange peel or pineapple peel: Orange peel and pineapple peel absorb odors well, if the heating water smells, you can use a cloth bag to put some orange peel or pineapple peel under the leak.

Note: Placing cut onions, lemon fruits, and other things that have a strong odor can also achieve a more ideal odor removal effect.

In such a situation, contact the relevant personnel in a timely manner, and secondly, you should also explain the situation at home, so that it is more appropriate, and secondly, you can also buy some relevant materials and make up for it yourself.

You should go to a professional master immediately, and you can also turn off the water pipes immediately to get a good treatment that will not break the wooden floor.

You can find a maintenance worker to fix it, you can also plug it through plastic, you can also put an air freshener, you can also spray some perfume.

Generally, the newly installed heating leaks a lot, the normal situation is less leakage, and the water leakage for a long time is large, and it is generally a pressure test.

Radiator leakage treatment method:

1. Close the valve as soon as possible after water leakage.

Before the heating enters each home, there is a general valve, which is the main switch that controls the inlet and return of water to the radiator in a household. If the radiator leaks and you happen to have all the radiators connected in series, you need to turn off the switch to cut off the water entering the user's radiator**.

2. Simply deal with the leakage parts.

This is mainly to look at the leakage part of the radiator and the size of the leakage. Some of the installation parts of the radiators are leaking, which requires us to find the leaking parts and temporarily wrap the leaking parts with towels or other things; If the radiator itself is leaking, follow the same method, use a towel or other water-absorbing object to cover the leaking part, and then use other water containers to catch the water leaking from the radiator to prevent the furniture floor from being soaked.

In the cold winter, many families will turn on the heating equipment in their homes to increase the indoor temperature, but in the process of use, there may be radiator leakage, so how to deal with radiator leakage? What are the causes and solutions of radiator leakage? Let's take a look!

1. How to deal with radiator leakage.

When encountering the situation of radiator leakage, first of all, you should find the leakage point of the radiator, determine the leakage point of the radiator, and then find the control valve of the leakage point, and then turn the control valve along the clockwise direction until the valve can not be rotated to stop, close the valve to see if the radiator leakage situation is improved, if not, you need to contact professionals for maintenance.

2. Causes and solutions of radiator leakage.

1. The column and head of the radiator are not a whole, they are connected by welding, so the welding is prone to corrosion, which causes the radiator to leak.

2. The radiator leakage may be because the quality of the parts at the connection of the heating pipe is not very good, and the radiator leaks after long-term contact with water.

3. In the process of decorating the house or using the radiator, the owner may cause damage to the radiator, resulting in water leakage of the radiator pipe wall.

In order to avoid the problem of water leakage of radiators, regular maintenance of radiators should be carried out during use, so as to extend the service life of radiators. If you want to know more about decoration, you can pay attention to the relevant information of Qeeka Home.

Radiator development to today, the technology has been very mature, heating is relatively safe, but due to the quality of radiators and improper use of users, radiator leakage accidents also occur from time to time. For heating users, this is not a small problem, can be ignored, small dripping floor, large bursting, injury to physical safety, to the family to bring huge economic losses. Therefore, it is necessary to learn the emergency treatment method of radiator leakage in advance and master the tips for plugging the leakage.

Leaking water at the connection point of the heating system.

The connection points of the heating system include the connection points between the pipes, the connection points between the pipes and the radiators, as well as the air running and plugging places. If a leak is found, close the valve immediately and contact the maintenance personnel as soon as possible to come for maintenance. If the water leakage is not serious, and there are people in the family who know professional maintenance knowledge and have the corresponding tools, they can solve it by themselves.

Leaking water in the heating pipe eye.

When the radiator has a sand hole leakage, you need to wrap a towel or rag around the pipe and leave a section to put it in the basin to direct the water into the basin. If you have a bicycle inner tube at home, you can cut it into a section about 1 cm wide and about 50 cm long, pull the inner tube strip hard at a distance of 3 cm from the trachoma, and then wrap it around the trachoma for 3 cm, and after 3 to 5 days, the trachoma will automatically rust to death.

The exhaust valve is broken and leaking.

Due to the process of water injection and pressure test, some users are worried that this will affect the heating effect, so they unscrew the exhaust valve to release the air, but because the internal connection of the exhaust valve is thin, it is easy to break if it is not operated properly, resulting in water leakage. At this time, the user should not panic, you can find a round chopstick, use the chopsticks as a wedge and nail it into the leak, and then ask a professional to repair it.

The radiator is leaking.

The water leakage caused by the bursting of the radiator can be said to be a serious situation, and in this case, the user should immediately use thick towels, rags and other more absorbent items to block the leakage, first reduce the water flow, and reduce the loss caused by the hot water gushing. The valve should be closed as soon as possible and the after-sales service should be called immediately.

The radiator burst and leaked.

The water leakage caused by the bursting of the radiator can be said to be a serious situation, and in this case, the user should immediately use thick towels, rags and other more absorbent items to block the leakage, first reduce the water flow, and reduce the loss caused by the hot water gushing. The valve should be closed as soon as possible and the after-sales service should be called immediately.

The safe use of radiators is the most important, in addition to paying attention to the problem of radiator leakage and taking emergency plans, it is more important to strictly control the installation time.

In addition, remind everyone that while preventing problems before they occur, we must fundamentally eliminate the occurrence of water leakage, and when purchasing radiators, we must choose to buy in the brand dealers of regular manufacturers, so as not to buy fakes, resulting in no guarantee of quality, no after-sales service, and huge economic losses to families.

In the case of trachoma, a new radiator must be replaced.

If the radiator is leaking due to trachoma, it needs to be replaced, because the radiator may burst, and it will be a big loss due to small losses.

The various connection points of the heating system are very easy to leak, including the connection points between pipes, the connection points between pipes and radiators, and the air running and plugging. These connection points are in constant contact with water and air, and materials of slightly inferior quality will slowly corrode, causing water leakage. When selecting materials, you should pay attention to the quality of the pipe and the quality of the radiator accessories, in case of water leakage, you should replace the accessories in time.

To find the cause of the radiator leakage and then treat the symptoms:

1. Who leaks from radiator corrosion: water leakage caused by corrosion, which is a problem encountered by many consumers, especially radiators that have been used for more than ten years, the probability of corrosion will be higher, in this case, if there is a water leakage accident, you should first see if there is a warranty period, there is no warranty period, you can ask the manufacturer to replace it for you, but if it is because the service life is too long, you can only buy a new one.

2. The connection point is not sealed enough or corroded: the connection point of the radiator system is a place that is very easy to leak, including the connection point between the pipes, the connection point between the pipe and the radiator, and the air running and plugging. These connections are either not tightly connected, or they are leaking due to corrosion from water and air.

When selecting materials, it is necessary to pay attention to the quality of the pipe and the quality of the radiator fittings, and replace the fittings in time in case of water leakage.

3. Thermal expansion and cold contraction radiator burst and leakage: when thermal expansion and cold contraction, hot water injection, those radiators that are not of good quality burst and leak under the action of pressure, if the radiator suddenly bursts and leaks, it should be immediately blocked with thick towels, rags and other items to reduce the water flow and reduce the possible losses caused by hot water gushing.

4. Water leakage caused by private connection and random alteration of heating devices: In the process of using radiators for heating, some users will transform the radiators privately, which will also bring hidden dangers of water leakage. Generally speaking, radiators are installed in a position that is conducive to indoor heating, and once the location 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 and cause unnecessary losses.

What are the causes of a leaking radiator?

1: The heating water quality is complex or the radiators are mixed.

At present, the water quality status in various parts of China is different, and the heating water quality in many areas is more complicated. For example, the Shijingshan area of Beijing belongs to alkaline water quality, the oxygen content in the water is high, if the steel radiator is used, it is easy to cause the radiator oxidation corrosion, resulting in water leakage and bursting accidents. In addition, the mixing of radiators of different materials is prone to electrochemical corrosion, which can also easily lead to problems such as water leakage of radiators.

2: Water leakage caused by radiator installation design problems.

The installation of radiators is not an easy task, and it needs to be carefully designed and constructed by professionals. From the decoration level, the heating installation belongs to the construction of the waterway, if the interface between the heating and the pipe is not properly handled, and the inferior accessories are used in the installation, it will lead to the connection is not tight, the valve is wireless, and thus causes water leakage.

Three: Improper maintenance of the radiator leads to water leakage.

In the non-heating season, some heating radiators should be full of water for maintenance, otherwise it is easy to bury hidden dangers. In the non-heating season, draining the water in the heating system will lead to accelerated corrosion of steel radiators, boilers, pumps and valves, as well as clogging radiator temperature control valves, heat meters and other products.

2. Because the heating system is divided into two ways, there are at least 2 control valves. Therefore, after finding the leakage part, then find the control valve of the leaking part.

3. Rotate the determined control valve clockwise until it cannot be stopped.

4. After closing the valve, investigate whether the leakage situation has improved, if not, it means that the valve has failed or the wrong valve has been selected.

5. After the above process operation is over, you should immediately call the heating maintenance center**, or contact the manufacturer who purchased the radiator to deal with the water leakage as soon as possible.

Although there are many heating radiator products on the market, not every product is suitable for your own use. The choice of heating radiator products needs to take into account the overall heating environment of the community, the material of the heating radiator, and the matching of other building materials products in the home, such as the oxygen content of the heating water in the community, it is not suitable to choose the ordinary steel heating radiator, but should choose the copper and aluminum composite heating radiator.
