Floor heating is currently one of the more common的Heating equipment, and floor heating water separator is a device that connects the main heating water supply pipe and return pipe in floor heating, and plays a very important role in floor heating. Floor heating water separators occupy the important responsibility of entering and exiting water in floor heating, so it is very important to install the floor heating water separators well.
The floor heating water separator consists of two parts: water distribution and water collection. It is collectively referred to as the floor heating water separator. A water divider is a water distribution device used to connect the water supply pipes of each heating pipe in the water system; a water collector is a water collecting device used to connect the return pipes of each heating pipe in the water system. The main accessories of floor heating water separator include water separator, water collector, inner joint, locking valve, movable joint, valve, and exhaust valve. There are several main steps to install a floor heating water heater:
1. Connecting water inlet and outlet
The inlet and outlet of each loop heating pipe should be connected to the water separator and water collector respectively. The inner diameter of the water separator and water collector shall not be less than the inner diameter of the total supply and return pipes, and the flow velocity of the maximum section of the water separator and water collector shall not be greater than 0.8m/s. Each water divider and water collector branch loop should not exceed 8 roads. Too many loops will cause the pipes at the water diversion device to be too dense, which is not conducive to installation. Copper ball valves and other shut-off valves shall be provided on the water supply and return pipes of each branch loop.
2. Corresponding installation of valves
On the water supply connecting pipe in front of the water separator, valves, filters and drainage pipes should be installed in the direction of water flow. Two valves are set in front of the water separator, mainly for closing when cleaning the filter and replacing or repairing the heat metering device; the filter is set to prevent impurities from clogging the flow meter and heating pipes. The valves and filters in front of the heat metering device can also be replaced with filter ball valves. On the return water connection pipe behind the water collector, a drain pipe should be installed and a balance valve or other shut-off adjusting valve should be installed. System accessories shall be made of corrosion-resistant materials. Install a water discharge device for flushing pipelines and draining water before acceptance and during subsequent maintenance. It is best that the water discharge device has a drainage device such as a floor drain nearby. Heat metering devices shall be provided for systems with heat metering requirements.
3. Set up bypass
A bypass pipe should be set between the main inlet pipe of the water separator and the main outlet pipe of the water collector, and a valve should be set on the bypass pipe. The connection position of the bypass pipe should be between the starting end of the main water inlet pipe (before the valve) and the end of the main water outlet pipe (after the valve) to ensure that water does not flow into the heating pipe when flushing the heating pipeline system.
4. Set manual or automatic exhaust valves
Manual or automatic exhaust valves should be installed on the water separator and water collector. Try to install an automatic bleed valve to bring convenience to users in future use and avoid air collection caused by factors such as cold and hot pressure differences and water replenishment, which will hinder the operation of the system.
Although the installation of the water collection device is not complicated, it is an important part that affects whether your winter is warm and worry-free.
