If it is found that there is a leakage problem in the overflow port of the solar power, we must find the cause of the leakage in time and solve it accordingly, otherwise it may lead to the inability to supply water normally.
1. What causes leaks at the overflow port of solar water heaters?
1. The water mixer, pipes and safety valve may be blocked. zone leak.
2. It is also possible that it has been used for a long time and has cracked. For example, the seal has aged and cannot achieve the sealing effect, which will also cause water leakage.
3. Another reason is that if the water heater's inner tank ruptures due to temperature difference, water will flow slowly from the overflow port.
2. Solutions to solar overflow leaks
1. If the mixing valve or channelsation, including safety valves and other accessories, are defective, they can be directly replaced to solve the problem. .
2. If the problem is caused by a leaking water tank, replacing it will cost more because a water heater's inner tank is more expensive, the editor suggests. Better to replace it with a new water heater. To prevent this from happening, the best way is to protect the inner tank from corrosion, clean it and maintain it regularly. For example, we need to clean the water heater every one or two years to prevent the growth of scale, so as to effectively extend the life of the water heater.
3. Common faults of solar water heaters
Some customers reported that the solar water heater in the house cannot produce hot water. Maybe it's because there's a lot of dust on the surface. vacuum tube or if there is an obstruction. The effThermal efficiency is not good, coupled with insufficient solar radiation energy and relatively low temperature, there will be no hot water supply when you return home at night. The solution is that we need to wipe the dust on the surface and remove the obstruction. It is necessary to replace the vacuum tube, which can effectively avoid the problem of hot water cannot come out.
Editor Summary: If there is a leaking problem in the solar overflow port, you need to quickly find the problem and then solve it accordingly. If the internal tank fails, it is relatively more complicated.
Leakage at the water outlet of the solar water heater tank is caused by the following two points:
1. Water leaking at the joint between the water tank outlet and the pipe connections.
2. The junction between the outlet pipe of the water tank and the bodys from the box.
Repair method:
Please close the inlet valve of the water heater, then check the leak location. If there is water leakage at the joint between the water tank outlet pipe and the pipe fittings, use a wrench to tighten the joint of the original water outlet connection pipe to to solve the problem if there is water leakage at the joint between the outlet pipe of the water tank; and the body of the box, it is because the silicone ring integrated into the outlet of the water tank is broken Yes, the pipe needs to be replaced. First purchase a silicone ring of the same specifications (available in solar accessories stores), then remove the water outlet pipe, then remove the old silicone ring, then put the new silicone ring into the water hole of the water heater liner, and finally remove the outlet pipe. Wipe the water pipe, apply a little washed flour comlubricate myself and insert the steel pipe while rotating it.
