Protect it well and it will last for 10 years
Solar water heater tube breakage is mainly caused by large changes in ambient temperature and poor quality of tube stress.
Solar water heater is a heating device that converts solar energy into thermal energy, heating water from low temperature to high temperature to meet the use of hot water by people in life and production. Solar water heaters are divided into vacuum tube solar water heaters and flat panel solar water heaters based on their structural shapes. Evacuated tube solar water heaters are mainly used, accounting for 95% of the domestic market share. Household evacuated tube solar water heaters are composed of heat collecting tubes, water storage tanks, brackets and other related parts. The conversion of solar energy into thermal energy is primarily basedipally on vacuum heat collector tubes which use the principle of hot water floating. and cold water flows to cause microcirculation in the water. Get the hot water you need.
How to fix a leaking solar water heater pipe?
If the water pipe connection of the solar water heater is leaking, follow the following steps to check:
1. The connection between the water pipe and the joint depends on. what type of pipe you are using. Hot melt In the case of pipes, the connection is not good enough in hot melting, which causes water leakage in the case of aluminum-plastic pipes, the screws are not tightened or the bushing seal is damaged; .
2. The connection between the joint and the water tank pipe is often caused by the raw material tape not being properly wrapped, causing water leakage.
3. The connection between the tank piper water and the water tank. There are two commonly used connection methods: solder type and silicone gasket type. ?If it is a welded type, the water tank needs to be replaced. If the warranty period has expired, you need to find an argon arc welder to remove the insulation layer and weld it. ? If it is a silicone type of seal, simply replace the sealing ring. If there is no replacement in stock, you can replace the exhaust port sealing ring on the top and use it (general solar is universal).
4. Close the water tap.
5. Then use a wrench to loosen the leaking gasket and remove it. First check if the joint pipe connection is cracked.
6. If necessary, replace it. If not, check if the pipe head is flat. After smoothing, reconnect the joint. Pay attention to the second proof. The plastic pipethat aluminum must be inserted. In the seal. Inside, if you don't understand, you can ask a plumber for help. Once the pipes are laid, tighten the joints and there should be no leaks.
7. If there is water leaking between the hose fittings, simply remove it and wrap the threaded end with tape for about 20 turns. Then reconnect it and tighten it.
8. There is also white pipe, but this type of pipe is PVC water supply pipe. If it leaks, simply wrap the raw material tape around the joint.
9. If there is water leakage at the place connected by glue, it is best to cut the leaking place with pipe scissors and replace it with a new one.
1. Turn off the water tap; 2. Then loosen the leaking joint with a wrench, remove it, and first check whether the pipe connection at the joint is cracked; replace it, otherwise lookz the tubeIs the head of the pipe flat? After smoothing it out, reconnect the joint. Pay attention to proof 2. The aluminum plastic pipe should be inserted into the joint. If you don't understand, you can ask a plumber for help. the pipe is installed, put the gasket back in place, tighten it securely and it should stop leaking.
Relevant knowledge:
1. Generally speaking, solar water heaters can be divided into three types according to the water flow method: solar drying type, direct flow type and circulation type. . Solar water heater is a water heater that combines heat collection and storage into one. According to the different water storage containers, they can be divided into three types: shallow pool type, plastic bag type and cylindrical type. Circulating solar water heaters can be divided into natural circulation type, automatic temperature circulation typeconstant ture and forced circulation type according to different circulation power.
2. The circulating all-glass vacuum collector tube solar water heater uses the high absorption capacity and low emissivity of the vacuum collector tube to convert the absorbed solar radiation into thermal energy. to generate hot water. The characteristics of low density, the natural circulation of cold water from top to bottom and hot water from bottom to top in the vacuum tube gradually increases the temperature of all water to reach a certain temperature.
3. The vacuum glass tube being round, it has the particularity of naturally following the source of sunlight. In addition, the reflection principle of the reflector allows the glass tube to receive light from all sides. the heat collection effect lasts longer and the water temperature higher, it can work normally all the timennate, even in alpine areas.
