Heating

Over time, various deposits can appear on the internal surfaces of pipelines of almost any kind of communication, which leads to a decrease in throughput. In heating networks, a layer of scale is often formed on the walls of the elements, which is associated with a high temperature of the heat carrier. To get rid of this problem, you will need to use special equipment for flushing the heating system.

The photo shows the pipe before and after cleaning operations.

Used devices

Pipelines can be cleaned in different ways, and a specific unit is selected for each of them. The price of some devices can be quite high, as their efficiency is at the proper level. Individual work can be done by hand using inexpensive fixtures.

Hydrodynamic installations

The main equipment is water-jet machines that deliver high-pressure liquid. With their help, it is possible to eliminate deposits in pipelines with a diameter of 20 mm and above. High efficiency of the method is achieved through the use of special tips.

Water jet apparatus of compact size.

Hydrodynamic technology for removing scale and other contaminants is considered to be the most benign, since during work inside the communication system no excessive pressure is created. This operation is completely safe for installed elements.

Its features are discussed below:

  • Promotion of the nozzle is provided by reactive, which is created by the action of high-pressure streams of water coming out of the holes in a special nozzle.
  • This installation for flushing heating systems works most efficiently when using high-performance nozzles.. Their choice should be made depending on the nature of the blockage.
  • When the most difficult congestion used chain carousel and rotor tips. The resulting traffic jams in the communication network are successfully eliminated by punching nozzles.
It looks like a nozzle for pressure cleaning.

Addition! After the implementation of hydrodynamic washing capacity of the conductive elements of the heating system is restored directly to its original values.

Pneumatichydraulic units

The main device is a compressor for flushing the heating system or a pump, which allows the accumulation of compressed air and a sudden discharge at a certain point in time. In this situation, purification is performed by creating a kinetic impulse in a liquid medium. Water swirls remove deposits from the surface of the pipeline.

Pneumo-hydraulic design has a special capacity for compressed air, which is usually blown by the compressor. However, a special pump can also be used to flush the heating system. It is a cylinder equipped with a piston.

One side of the device is in contact with air and the other with water.

A unit for pneumatic-hydraulic flushing is demonstrated.
  1. At the very beginning, the device is connected to the heating elements through a switch and transition hoses.
  2. After that, water is poured into the system, which flows directly into the cylinder of the main device, moving the piston to its original position.
  3. Then the cylinder is charged until the necessary pressure is created.
  4. At the main stage, a shock wave is created with the help of a piston, which allows for the cleaning of pipes.

Note! The main disadvantage of this method is a certain limited kinetic force. Impact power is usually reflected in the technical documentation of the device.

Mechanical impact devices

In this case, flexible shafts with a drive are used, on one side of which metal brushes are placed. As a tool, rotating the rod, usually acts drill.

The following is an instruction on how to work.

Presents a flexible shaft assembled.
  1. At the initial stage, a system is prepared for carrying out purification measures. The heat carrier is completely drained, fittings for pipes in the right places are unwound.
  2. A structure is being assembled, which will be used for mechanical removal of scale and other contaminants from pipelines. To one end is attached a brush made of metal of suitable size, and to the other - a drill.
  3. Gradually, the flexible shaft is introduced into the interior of the conductive elements of the system. When the device rotates around its axis, scale will fall off from the pipe walls.

Reference! Flexible shafts are available in long or short lengths, which greatly simplifies the selection. They should be stored in such a position that the bend radius is maximum.

Electro-hydraulic devices

The principle of operation of such installations is based on the fact that a coaxial cable, which has a connection to the device of high-voltage pulses, is introduced into the liquid medium. The device creates repetitive electrical discharges with a frequency from 1 to 10 Hz. Due to this destruction of accumulated sediments occurs.

An example of an electrical installation.

Many models of cleaning equipment of this type are able to clean pipelines, the diameter of which varies from 10-100 mm. Additional equipment can be supplied with equipment.

Final part

Above it was presented the most effective equipment for flushing heating and some other communication systems. The power and technical parameters of the devices can vary considerably, which in any case affects the final cost of the product.
