From time to time, the heating main needs to be cleaned. The fact is that during operation, rust and scale settle on the inner walls of the pipes. Lime deposits reduce the throughput of the pipeline, and besides, scale does not conduct heat well. As a result, heating costs have to be increased in order to keep the room temperature at the proper level. For flushing work, there is a set of special equipment, the main tool of which is a compressor for flushing the heating system.

Important! Pipes that have served 10 years are 50% clogged with scale. Every millimeter of deposits increases fuel consumption by 25%. Thus, even a single flush of the system will increase its efficiency and help save energy costs.

Selecting a device for flushing the heating system

It is best to purchase an electronically controlled heating system flusher. It won't be just a pump for solution or compressed air. Such a device is able to analyze the intensity and nature of the oscillations of the working medium in the circuit. The operator's task will only be to regulate the frequency and power of the pulses.

The equipment must also be provided with pressure and fluid flow sensors, protection against accidental activation. Let's list some brands that are in high demand among the consumer:

• Rockal
• Ropulse
• Cillit-Boy
• Virax
• RIDGID

High-quality compressors can flush not only the heating system, but also water pipes, solar collectors, as well as the underfloor heating system.

Washing technology

Before starting work, you should diagnose the system, find out the condition of the pipeline, boilers and heat exchangers. Based on these data, the cleaning method and operating mode of the flushing equipment are selected. Typically, one of two flushing options is used:

• Filling. The circuit is filled with water or a chemical reagent and left for half an hour. After that, the compressor is turned on and compressed air is supplied to the pipes. After a certain period of time, close the valve on the supply line, open the valve and drain the dirty water. The procedure is repeated until a clear liquid appears.
• Flow-through method. Most effective. It consists in long-term and continuous supply of compressed air and water (or solution) to the heating system. Not all compressors support both technologies - many of them supply either water or compressed air. When buying, you should pay attention to the technical characteristics of the equipment.

Heating system cleaning methods

To clean the internal channels of heating systems, several methods are used: hydrochemical, pneumohydraulic and hydropneumatic impact.

Chemical washing

This is the most common cleaning method. Its essence lies in the fact that a chemically active liquid is supplied to the system for flushing the heating system together with a corrosion inhibitor. An aggressive solution dissolves deposits layer by layer and flushes them out of the pipes, and the inhibitor additionally passivates the pipes from the inside (creates a stable anti-corrosion coating, increasing their service life).

Important! After draining the reagent, the system should be flushed with a neutralizer or water, and then filled with a coolant.

Such work is carried out using a pump for flushing the heating system, pumping a chemical liquid under pressure.

Important! Flushing work can be carried out in winter without interrupting the heating process. Flushing the pipes with a reagent, carried out on their own, is fraught with a major overhaul of the entire system. Contact the specialists!

Chemical cleaning will extend the operation of the heating network for 10-15 years and significantly reduce heating costs.

Bubbling: pneumohydraulic cleaning

The procedure will require a compressor that creates high pressure in the flushing hoses. The compressor delivers a water-air mixture to the pipes, which loosens deposits and removes scale, grease, sodium, calcium, magnesium salts, chemicals and rust from the walls. This method is widely used to remove sludge from cast iron radiators.

Battering ram: hydro-pneumatic cleaning

The method is based on the creation of a shock pulse passing through the highway at a speed of 1500 m / s. It is used on pipelines with a total length of no more than 60 m. The kinetic shock is produced by a special device. The result of the passage of the shock wave is the detachment of scale from the inner surface of the pipes.

Attention! Only a trained specialist can perform this operation!

A device for creating a shock wave in a pipeline

Heating system flushing agents

Before buying a reagent, you need to consult with an expert about the composition of the layers in the pipes. Based on this, chemistry is selected for flushing the heating system. Acid concentrate acts faster, but alkaline is safer for the pipeline. The instructions always indicate which metals the reagent has a destructive effect on.

Attention! Do not wash aluminum radiators with acidic or alkaline solutions. Special means are provided for them.

Pipe after flushing

Professional flushing of pipelines

Responsible homeowners rarely decide to flush the heating system themselves, especially when it comes to multi-storey buildings. The risk of being left with emergency heating is too great. The best solution would be to contact a company that specializes in such services. Engineers will assess the technical condition of the pipes and carry out preliminary pressure testing of the pipeline. Based on the results of the check, an act and an estimate for flushing the heating system will be drawn up.

After completing the work, the contractor must dispose of the used reagents. They cannot be drained into the sewer.

Quality control of flushing of the heating system is carried out in accordance with SNIP 3.05.01-85. According to the standards, water must be taken in different sections of the pipeline, as well as in the heating unit. It is assumed that a competent commission will assess the amount of suspended matter and the transparency of the coolant. In fact, representatives of the housing office use a more effective method: they open several radiators in apartments and entrances, unscrewing the blind plugs. The thickness of the scale layer in the battery is visually assessed, as well as the presence of solid particles on the cork. If the result is unsatisfactory, a period for re-flushing the system is assigned.

Let's summarize. It seems that flushing heating pipes is easy. In fact, the process is quite complicated and requires the use of special equipment and chemical reagents. Damaged pipes, numerous leaks and bursts in weak points of the system can be the result of unprofessional actions. Contacting a specialized organization will be a guarantee of competent and responsible performance of the entire range of flushing work.

Appointment

Flushing the heating system can significantly increase the life of the radiators. Dirt and rust reduce heat transfer and lead to premature wear of the entire heating system. Flushing water supply systems is a preventive measure that eliminates the need for more labor-intensive and financially expensive work. Dirt in pipes has a direct negative impact on water quality.

Preventive flushing of heating and water supply systems should be carried out regularly. If the pipes do not flow from the outside, this does not mean that everything is in order inside them. Every year, rust, scale and other neoplasms are deposited in the water supply and heating pipelines, which sooner or later will disable the entire system. The following symptoms may indicate the presence of blockages: an unpleasant odor of water, a decrease in heat transfer from the batteries, a decrease in pressure.

According to statistics, each year of using heating pipelines without flushing leads to a 5% increase in deposits on the structure cavity. That is, after 7-10 years, the system may be half clogged. And the larger the blockage, the more difficult it is to rinse.

Innovative features

Created on the basis of a Pulse Pneumatic Generator (IPG) with electronic control of the shot frequency in the range of 0.5 ... 30 min, ejection energy up to 2-3 kJ, adjustable duration 0.02 ... 0.09 s and exhaust speed up to 60 m / s in liquid ... The sharp response of the IPG creates a shock wave, on the reverse side of which a vacuum zone is formed.

The compressor for flushing with IPG, in comparison with analogs, transfers many times more kinetic energy from the compressed air to the system to be cleaned. In this case, the integral amount of air supplied to the system is proportional to the analogs, and the work performed to detach deposits due to impulse action is an order of magnitude higher.

Principle of operation

The compressor for flushing heating systems BUCHA-K acts on deposits with a hydropneumatic impulse with energy up to 2 kJ, with a frequency of 0.5-30 minutes, a duration of 0.02-0.09 seconds and a speed of up to 60 m / s, hydraulically, pneumatically with the effect bubbling and hydrodynamic cavitation, acoustic (ultrasonic). A gentle mode of exposure to pipelines, heating and water supply systems is ensured by means of short air pulses directed into the water flow. The impulses create a hydrodynamic compression-vacuum regime, which ensures a quick detachment of sediment particles from the surface with subsequent removal from the system by means of running water. At the same time, the formation of congestion is excluded. Also, the process of flushing heating and water supply systems helps to get rid of traffic jams and blockages that existed before the cleaning process.

Flow reversal is realized by quick-detachable inch connections with ball valves without loss of hydropneumatic impulse power.
