Why hire a heating system commissioning expert?
Before putting the heating system into operation, all piping systems must be checked for tightness, all connections and connecting parts must be accessible in order to rule out water leaks in those places. The master must confirm with his signature that the system was leak-proof during the test and that no leaks occurred in certain parts of the system.
What must you consider when commissioning a heating system?
Commissioning of the heating system When starting the heating system for the first time after the summer break, it is necessary to pay attention to certain things. Failure to check may permanently damage the system and its components. An inspection of the pressure in the system is mandatory for all types of heating, the pressure in the system is prescribed to be 1.4 bar. If the pressure is lower than specified, the energy efficiency of heating is reduced, if the pressure is higher than specified, it may result in a certain part of the system bursting or flooding by the safety valve. – Overview of pressure in the system
It is necessary to pour antifreeze with distilled water into the system instead of sanitary water or empty the system completely, in as many places as possible. In order to prevent the unwanted cracking of the ice system and major material damage.
What preparations should be made before starting up the heating system?
Before starting up the heating system, it must be ensured that all open ends of the pipes have a plug or an irradiation device. It is important that all parts of the piping system are accessible even without insulation, so that leaks can be quickly found in the event of pressure loss. Before pressure testing with 1.3 times the working pressure, the safety valve must be closed as well as the expansion vessel.
Longevity and reliability of the heating system
Longevity and reliability in the operation of heating systems based on the application of electric heating cables largely depend on compliance with the rules of the trade and the manufacturer”s recommendations, and that is why it is advised to leave the installation and commissioning of your system to professionals. In this way, you will ensure a safe and reliable heating system for a long period of time that is measured in decades, and the craftsmen will provide you with a warranty period and support in using the system for the trust you have shown.
How should the floor be prepared for installation of the underfloor heating system?
The floor should be prepared with any of the convection floor coverings in accordance with all applicable standards. The floor should be clean of all debris and sharp edges, objects that can damage the heating cable. Unevenness should be repaired and all gaps should be filled so that the heating cable is installed on a smooth surface. In order to ensure the efficiency of the Elektra floor heating system, it is recommended to use floor insulation during installation, in order to direct the heat to the heated space and avoid unwanted heat loss. All components must withstand 80° C, must contain agents (such as acrylic) to ensure flexibility. The underfloor heating system should not be installed at a temperature lower than +5°C. Always follow the manufacturer”s instructions.
