In today's article, we will tell you how to solve the problem when the heating battery does not heat up. For example, one battery works fine, but another, installed under similar conditions, remains cold or warms up unevenly.
The main causes of the problem
Air in the system
The most common reason is the presence of air in the battery, which prevents it from heating evenly. To remove air, use the Mayevsky faucet. Take the container for collecting water, open the tap with a key or screwdriver, and release the air. If after that the water begins to flow continuously, and the battery still does not heat up, the reason may be different.
Dirt and rust
Another possible problem is clogging of the system. Rust or dirt can get in with the water, blocking the circulation of the coolant. In this case, you need:
- cover the battery;
- unscrew the cap;
- drain the water and check for contamination.
If the battery is clean, you can rule out this cause.
Incorrect connection scheme
With a side connection, it is important from which side the hot water is supplied. If it enters the upper part of the battery, the heating will be uniform. If the supply is from below, only the first sections are heated.
You can also release air from the battery by slightly unscrewing the side vent.
How to solve the problem
To ensure uniform heating, you can change the connection scheme to a diagonal one. This involves moving the hot water connection point. The work can be done using plastic pipes and a soldering iron. As a result, the battery will start to warm up evenly.
So be sure to try using our recommendations and we are sure that you will succeed. We wish you success!
