How to open the geothermal water distributor valve
The geothermal water distributor is one of the core components of the floor heating system. The correct opening and adjustment of its valve are directly related to the heating effect and energy consumption of the floor heating. Many users are often confused about the operation of the water distributor valve when using floor heating. This article will introduce in detail the opening method, precautions and solutions to common problems of the geothermal water distributor valve to help you better use the floor heating system.
1. Basic structure of geothermal water distributor valve
Geothermal water distributor usually consists of water inlet valve, return valve, branch valve and exhaust valve. The following is its basic structure and functions:
| Part name | Function description |
|---|---|
| Water inlet valve | Master switch that controls hot water entering the water distributor |
| Return water valve | The main switch that controls the return of hot water from the water distributor to the boiler |
| shunt valve | Adjust the water flow of each branch and control the temperature of different rooms |
| exhaust valve | Used to discharge air from pipes to avoid air blockage |
2. Steps to open the geothermal water distributor valve
Correctly opening the floor heating water distributor valve is the key to ensuring the normal operation of floor heating. The following are detailed opening steps:
1.Check valve status: Before opening the valves, make sure all valves are closed, especially the branch valves.
2.Open the water inlet valve and return valve: First open the water inlet valve, then slowly open the return water valve to ensure that the water flow enters the system smoothly.
3.Open the branch valve: Open the branch valves one by one as needed. It is recommended to open the branch closest to the water distributor first, and then open the other branches in sequence.
4.Exhaust operation: Open the exhaust valve and exhaust the air in the pipe until water flows out and then close the exhaust valve.
5.Adjust flow: According to the room temperature requirements, appropriately adjust the opening of the branch valve to ensure balanced flow in each branch.
| steps | Operation content | Things to note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Check valve status | Make sure all valves are initially closed |
| 2 | Open the water inlet valve and return valve | Operate slowly to avoid water hammer effects |
| 3 | Open the branch valve | Open in order to avoid sudden changes in traffic |
| 4 | Exhaust operation | Make sure the air is completely exhausted |
| 5 | Adjust flow | Adjust according to room temperature needs |
3. Common problems and solutions
During the use of the geothermal water distributor valve, you may encounter some problems. The following are common problems and solutions:
1.Valve cannot be opened: It may be that the valve has not been used for a long time, causing corrosion. You can try tapping the valve lightly or using lubricant to loosen the valve core.
2.The pipe is not hot: It may be that the branch valve is not fully opened or there is air in the pipe. Check the valve opening and perform exhaust operation.
3.Uneven flow: It may be that the shunt valve is improperly adjusted. Readjust the opening of each branch valve to ensure balanced flow.
| question | Possible reasons | solution |
|---|---|---|
| Valve cannot be opened | Rusted or stuck | Use lubricant or tap lightly |
| The pipe is not hot | The valve is not open or air blocked | Check valve and vent |
| Uneven flow | Improperly adjusted valve | Readjust the bypass valve |
4. Precautions
1.Avoid violent operations: The valve should be opened and adjusted slowly to avoid damage to the valve caused by excessive force.
2.Regular maintenance: It is recommended to inspect and maintain the water distributor valve before the heating season every year to ensure its normal operation.
3.Professional help: If you encounter a problem that cannot be solved, you should contact professional maintenance personnel in time to avoid greater damage caused by self-disassembly.
Through the above introduction, I believe you have a clearer understanding of the opening and adjustment of the geothermal water distributor valve. Correct operation of the valve can not only improve the heating effect of floor heating, but also extend the service life of the system.
