Does the radiator need to be deflated? Why should the radiator deflate?

The radiator needs to be deflated. Generally, after the radiator is not used for a long time, it needs to be deflated when it is used for the first time to discharge the gas escaping into the pipeline; In addition, after long-term use, the radiator pipe will produce gas accumulation, and it needs to be deflated at this time.

Radiator is a heating device that many families will use. For some families, radiator is very famous because it has existed for a long time. But for some newly installed users, it is very strange. And it is often heard that the radiator will deflate, so does the radiator really need to deflate? The radiator needs to be deflated, but it should be deflated when the pipeline accumulates gas. Come and have a look with me!

Deflation of radiators is a routine operation of many families in the north, because it often happens to be winter, and when radiators are needed, they are usually deflated. Because there is gas accumulation in the internal pipeline when the radiator is not used for a long time, it will affect the heating effect of the radiator, so it is necessary to exhaust the radiator in the right way to make it heat normally. Another situation is that gas will be generated inside the pipeline after a long time of use. When it accumulates to a certain extent, air blockage will occur, and it is necessary to open the exhaust valve of the radiator to deflate.

It is especially important to note that when opening the exhaust valve, don't open it too wide, but twist it gently. When you hear that there is gas escaping, you don't have to twist it, because it is easy to discharge a lot of water if you open it too big, which will cause waste and flood the floor at home, and will also affect the normal work of the radiator. Don't panic if you accidentally unscrew the exhaust valve when exhausting. Use the fastest tools, such as wooden chopsticks, to block the exhaust valve to avoid a large amount of water flowing out, and then ask maintenance personnel to come and repair it as soon as possible.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that venting is not equal to releasing water, which is a wrong statement, but people are used to calling it this way, because the general venting depends on whether there is water flowing out, so people have the illusion of releasing water.
