Solar vacuum tube, solar water heater The vacuum tube is the core component of the solar water heater and is known as the “heart” of the solar water heater. The quality of the vacuum tube directly affects the lifespan and performance of. the solar water heater. So if one of the solar tubes explodes, what will happen?
1. It depends on what type of water heater it is.
2. If it is an ordinary non-pressure water heater, it cannot be used. Because if it breaks, it will leak.
3. If it is a pressure type, you can still use it after blowing a pipe, but it is always recommended to replace it as soon as possible, because if you do not replace it, the heat loss will be relatively large. The pressure type does not need a separate pipe. For water heaters, simply put, if the tap water is turned off, the water heater will no longer produce water.
4. In addition, theMost wall balconies operate split type. Usually if one is broken it can still be used. There is also heat loss, but loss. is small.
5. However, it is always recommended to repair it immediately.
Here I have presented the related content on whether a solar tube can still be used after it has burst. Friends in need should quickly take notice. Hope this can help everyone.
How to replace a broken solar tube
The inner tube is always a heat absorbing tube
The heating tubes are connected in parallel, so if one is broken, water will escape from here. If it cannot be replaced at the moment, you can seal both ends of the pipe to avoid emergency.
If the inner tube is rotten, the inner tube will not be insulated, but it will not leak! No, as long as there is no humidityp>
How to remove the solar tube if it is broken
The steps to replace the solar tube are as follows:
1, Find some dishwashing liquid and mix it with water one by one.
2. Then use a paintbrush to apply a circle to the silicone ring at the lower end of the water heater tank to cover the vacuum tube rubber ring.
3. Next, put on gloves and hold the lower part of the tube with your hands, rotate it and push it up. Once the lower vacuum tube is out, lift the lower bracket and then rotate it. pull it down to take it out.
4. Then remove the silicone ring and check it. If there is nothing wrong, install the silicone ring first, then apply dishwashing liquid to the new vacuum tube, gently rotate it and reinstall it in its slot. initial position.
It is best to choose a joIt's cloudy if you want to disassemble the solar tube. First, drain all the water from the solar panel. First, remove the first tube from the solar side and remove the glue. the connection between the vacuum tube and the water tank. Buckle it up, hold both ends of the vacuum tube with both hands, turn it left and right to remove the vacuum tube from the base, and then remove it while turning it.
From a safety point of view, it is better to hire professionals to disassemble solar tubes, because some solar tubes that have been used for a long time are difficult to disassemble safely. When dismantling solar tubes, you cannot choose a weather with strong sunshine because when dismantling solar tubesIt is necessary to drain all the water from the solar energy. If the sunlight is too strong and there is no water in the tube, the strong sunlight will shorten the life of the vacuum tubeand even damage it.
When disassembling the solar tube, it is best to use water soaked in detergent or lye to lubricate the vacuum tube. Remove the rubber ring between the vacuum tube and the water tank, then hold the vacuum tube with it. with both hands and use a little force to remove the other end of the vacuum tube. Remove one end of the circlip, then gently remove the vacuum tube from the water tank. During the disassembly process, you should not use too much force, otherwise the solar tube may burst and cause injury to people. Therefore, non-professionals should pay attention to safety when disassembling the solar tube.
During the process of disassembling the solar tube, if the rubber ring cannot rotate for a long time, you can use dishwashing liquid to apply to the contact area between the tube and the silicone ring to increase lubrication, thens apply it to the rubber ring. When disassembling the solar tube, it is best to disassemble it from the first tube on the solar side, which will make the operation easier.
