Installation of the pump in the heating system
For many developers and homeowners in the private sector, this issue is very acute, because heating is additional work and the cost of equipment and materials. But the heating system in its usual scheme may not work as efficiently as we would like.
Heat will spread unevenly and slowly throughout the room. will heat up in direct proportion to their proximity to. Is it possible to fight this, and is there only one way to correct this defect?
Insufficient coolant circulation
The first is a complete replacement of the existing ones with pipes of a larger cross-section, which will require additional work on dismantling the pipeline. Dirt, dust, passing time, not to mention the additional waste on materials - pipes are not cheap today.
But there is the same alternative - installation of the device into the system.
Forced circulation of the coolant
- Uniform distribution of heat on all circuits and, therefore, even the same.
- An increase in the efficiency of heating equipment, which leads to considerable savings in energy costs.
- Elimination of the eternal problem - the need to bleed air due to the formation of air locks.
The forced circulation pump must be selected based on the area of the existing premises, that is, individually. Low-power equipment will not be able to do its job as efficiently as possible. Going too far with power will also not bring you any good - unnecessary energy costs and unnecessary noise that can be avoided.
The required equipment can be calculated using a special formula, except for those cases when the room is an architectural ensemble with a complex wall configuration. In this case, you should call a heating engineer who will make all the necessary calculations. And only after that you can proceed to the installation of pumping equipment.
Circulation pump with three types of operation
How should a pump installation for heating technically look like? For the convenience of the workflow, it makes sense, which is completed with split-type threads. Otherwise, you will have to look for special adapters suitable for a specific device in specialized stores and purchase them yourself, which is rather inconvenient and problematic.
Installation principle
You will also need: an accurate connection diagram of the equipment, and protective fittings - a check valve, also called a valve. With this protective fittings, the system will be able to work properly despite high pressures.
Heating system connection diagram
To begin with, you need to choose an installation location in the system and prepare all the necessary tools and consumables: wrenches, FUM tape, etc. If there is no experience in the field of installation, it is quite possible that it is worth entrusting this matter to a specialist.
The first step is to take into account that from time to time it will be required, possibly repair and. Therefore, it is advisable to install the circular equipment in a place that allows easy access to it.
Correct installation location
Circulation pumps are made of materials that are not subject to corrosion, from a variety of plastics and polymer compounds, and therefore the pump can be installed both on the return pipe and on the supply pipe, unlike older models, the latter were installed only on the return pipe.
What needs to be done to correctly install the pump for heating?
Cleaning the system
First you need to carry out (if the pump is installed in an operating heating system). The pipes are cleaned by repeated (two, three times) filling and subsequent draining of water into the system.
Inset
Using, the specialist will install the equipment into the system in a predetermined section of the pipeline. After that, the actual connection of the equipment is made. After tapping and connecting the pump, the system can be filled with coolant.
Bleeding air
Next, by opening the central screw, bleed air from the equipment until water appears from the holes. It is necessary to check the equipment for serviceability and correct operation. Then the heating system can be put into operation.
Before pumping water into the water pipeline, the equipment should not be turned on, this can lead to premature wear or damage. If you take care of purchasing such pump models that allow you to monitor their operation using special devices or an automatic pump, you can significantly increase the pump's service life in the heating system.
The heating system, equipped with a system of forced circulation of the coolant, becomes more profitable and functional. Uniform distribution of heat throughout all rooms, more efficient operation of heating equipment, absence of air locks and, as a result, again more uniform heating of the premises - all these are indisputable advantages of a circulation pump installed on the heating system.
