The use of solar energy was actually very popular in the early years. We can see rows of solar water heaters on the roofs of many old buildings, regardless of the process of using water pipes. solar water heaters turn out to be frozen, what to do? We can take the following measures:
① First dip a towel in hot water, then close the outlet faucet and apply the towel soaked in boiling water to the water pipe until 'until the ice melts. We can also install electric heaters to melt the ice and apply it by hand to save time.
② When the temperature is low, especially in winter, in order to prevent the water pipes from freezing, we can open the water heater faucet every day and let the water flow. The amount of water does not need to be too much. If we are afraid of wasting water, we can collect itup in a basin and reuse it.
③When the temperature is low, we can also choose to add water to the water heater the next morning. If there is still hot water left after taking a bath, we can refill it immediately to prevent the water pipe from becoming passive.
④ Turn on the antifreeze device. When the temperature is below zero, we can prevent pipes from freezing by activating the anti-freeze device. But what should be paid special attention to is that the antifreeze device should not be turned on when the water pipe is passive or when taking a bath.
In cold weather, especially when the temperature is below zero, the water pipes of solar water heaters are easy to freeze, so we need to make antifreeze preparations in advance. Then, to prevent freezing, do the following:
① Drain the water intermittently. When the temperature is lowerure to zero, we must drain the water heater at regular intervals every day, especially before going to bed at night and after getting up in the morning, we must remember to drain the water. the temperature gradually decreases. This method uses water temperature to increase the temperature inside the water pipes to prevent the water pipes from freezing.
② Antifreeze by running water. Simply loosen the hot water tap slightly to allow the water to drain.
③ Empty and avoid freezing. This method is primarily aimed at users with inactive doors and water heaters. You must first drain the water from the outside water pipe, then close the main water door and open the mixer tap.
④ Install the heating tape. We should keep a good habit of monitoring weather forecasts and pay more attention to climate and temperature changes. LoWhen the temperature is below zero, we turn on the power supply to the heating tape to insulate the pipes to prevent freezing.
The above is the solution when the water pipe of the solar water heater is frozen, as well as the measures to protect the water pipe of the water heater.
