How to bleed towel warmer

It so happens that residents of apartment buildings complain about the inoperability of the dryer, which is most often connected to central heating. This does not mean at all that the design is broken and unsuitable for future use. There are many other sources of defect. To convey to the reader information about why this appears and how to eliminate it is the purpose of this article.

Why you need to bleed air from a heated towel rail

First you need to figure out the very purpose of the device. Why is it installed in the bathrooms?

Because it is thanks to him that the situation becomes softer due to drying, the macroclimate in the room is maintained. And on this basis, the appearance of various fungi, molds on walls, ceilings and baseboards is prevented. However, after prolonged use, water circulation may be disturbed, as air mass accumulates inside the unit (this is called a plug). Sometimes it even stops warming and loses its benefits.

Most common reasons descent of water from a heated towel rail:

• There are times when the hot water in the pipes evaporates quite slowly. This is due to the formation of bubbles inside, which interfere with the movement of warm liquid.
• The same non-fearful reasons include restarting the water supply after a short break in use, improperly selected form of the dryer or the connection itself, due to which the formation of cork is also guaranteed.

Therefore, so that such phenomena do not negatively affect the quality of the atmosphere in the room, it is necessary to eliminate air from the system.

How often do you need to bleed air from a heated towel rail

The answer to this question is in demand among users who have just learned about an urgent problem. Of course, you can do the fraud immediately after you notice a deterioration in the supply of heat through the pipes. It is undesirable to postpone it and delay, as the process worsens over time. And in the case when you lower the mass, the design will continue its activity at full capacity. Thus, the procedure should be carried out as the problem arises.

How to release air from a heated towel rail: step by step instructions

To eliminate the disadvantage of the device should initially take into account some nuances and features. Of course, to do it yourself is simple and easy, you do not need the help of a specialist. There are two methods of elimination.

Traditional way

It characterizes itself as a classic, standard method. Counts on elimination of air due to descent of water. However, the actions depend on your location. If you live in a multi-storey building, you need to study the scheme to know where you can open the crane. When finding a descent in your apartment, there is an opportunity to drain the liquid yourself.

1. The first step is to unscrew the nut connecting the DHW pipe to the dryer. This must be done using an adjustable wrench.
2. Prepare a container ready for use in the event of a drain.
3. Next, you need to wait for the moment when, after weakening the product, various kinds of hiss will begin.
4. The final point will be the descent of water.

REFERENCE!

When the air stops coming out (it will no longer be inside), the nut can be tightened to its original place.

If the above method does not help to fix the problem, there are other options:

• It happens that in buildings of the old type an individual approach to the situation is required. Here, the owner needs to contact a person living on the top floor and bleed air from his apartment. This is due to the fact that the DHW riser route runs from the lower floor to the upper one, makes a loop there and leads back down. Therefore, air accumulates at the top point. So the actions need to be done the same, only from another place.
• In houses with nine floors, the hot water pipe and tap are in the attic. Therefore, you should get to it and follow the same instructions: open the tap and drain into the sewer. However, this zone may not be accessible to outsiders, only plumbers can get into it. Then you should call them.
• If your building does not fit into any characteristics of buildings, then you only need to call a special service, which will certainly help you figure out and fix the malfunction.

Method using a Mayevsky crane

Unlike the previous method, this one is more modern.

1. To get started, prepare a rather large draining bowl and place it exactly under the tap.
2. Loosen the screw a little.
3. After the hiss, water should go. Wait for it to go with a lack of air. This is a sign of final bleeding.
4. You can spin the product back.

As you can see, this problem is quite simple and quite solvable. You can cope with it yourself, moreover, in various ways.
