What are the valves above and below the floor heating separator for?

The upper and lower valves of the floor heating water separator are used for deflation.

As a distribution and water collection device connecting the supply and return water of heating pipes in each loop, the distribution main pipe is a device in the floor heating system and plays an important role. The distribution manifold consists of a water separator, a water collector and a fixed bracket. Comprise a water separator main pipe (main rod), a wat collector main pipe (main rod), a shunt regulator control valve, an exhaust valve, a main pipe plug, a wallboard, a panel (a bracket distribution manifold has no panel) and that like. The main accessories are water separator, water collector, filter, valve, bleeder valve, locking valve, connector, internal connector and heat meter.

The function of setting an exhaust valve (air release valve) on the distribution main pipe is to bring convenience to users during use, and to avoid gas collection caused by cold and hot pressure difference, water supply and other factors, which will hinder the system operation. With the exhaust valve, air can be released in time. There are two kinds of exhaust valves, manual or automatic. Try installing an automatic exhaust valve.

Use skills:

First of all, the water separator can control the water supply flow in each room or area in different ways. For example, if any rotary core valve on the water separator is half closed, the temperature of the water heating chamber will decrease.

The second is the manual exhaust valve on the water separator. In case of poor heating and air blockage during heating in winter, users can use the exhaust device to manually exhaust the air in the floor heating pipeline to ensure the normal circulation of hot water.

Thirdly, there is a filter at the front end of the water separator. Users regularly or irregularly remove the filter screen at the lower end of the filter during the heating period every year, and then install it after cleaning to ensure the cleanliness of the water pipe. Rinse the pipe network with clean water after heating.

Fourth, if you are away from home for a long time, you can use the main valve of the water separator to reduce the circulating water, and you must not turn it off completely. If there is no indoor heating all winter, the water in the pipeline will be blown out.
