How to turn off a heating battery in an apartment

Hiss and whistles

If the radiator hiss or whistles, this is a sign of a water leak. Moreover, the leak can be anywhere in the heating system. Sometimes water comes out in a heating pipe embedded in the wall, and the sound comes from a radiator 10 meters away from it.

If you live in a multi-storey building and have not found an obvious leak in your apartment, talk to your neighbors. Maybe somewhere in a secluded corner they already have a puddle. If an obvious place is not found, you should check:

Parts of pipes embedded in ceilings and walls;
Common riser;
Places where the riser passes through the floors.

BlitzWolf 20W Solar Battery Upgrade

To power the LP-E6 battery charger from Canon 60D, I used a converter cable that makes 12 volts from 5 volts USB.

At the slightest sign of the sun, I laid out the battery at the stern of the kayak and it was constantly charging something. Even after a week of gloom, I still had about a third of the power bank, although I shot a lot and actively used my smartphone - I listened to audiobooks every day, watched maps and movies.

I believe that the BlitzWolf® 20W + Xiaomi 20000 bundle, or similar models from other manufacturers, is optimal for long solo hikes.

AllPowers has a wide range of solar panels, albeit a little more expensive.

I want to warn against the so-called super-chargers for 30,000, 50,000, 60,000 mAh with a built-in solar battery.

First, according to the calculations above, you can easily determine that a tiny solar battery with an area of less than 1 sq. decimeter, can charge the batteries only for a week of constant sun.

Secondly, nobrand batteries are used there, on which the Chinese print arbitrary numbers of capacity. At least 6000 on each.

In reality, the maximum capacity is possessed by Panasonic lithium batteries - 3250 mAh with protection against overheating and short circuits.

Murmur, rustle. Gurgling, the sound of pouring water in the battery

When such sounds appear, the reasons may be as follows:

The appearance of an airlock;
Littering of the heating system;
Deteriorated gaskets.

Airing the heating system - the most common problem of the appearance of extraneous sounds in the system. Air can appear due to poor water or heat transfer fluid quality. This is especially true for aluminum radiators. Highly acidic and alkaline water reacts with metal and produces gas, which creates a plug.

The second reason for the appearance of air is a poor-quality coolant. Over time, it can begin to break down and release oxygen or other gases (sometimes hazardous to health).

It is not difficult to find an airlock in the radiator. It is enough to touch it with your hand from above and below. If the battery is less hot in the upper part, air or gas has accumulated there.

If a Mayevsky tap is installed on the batteries, bleed the air from each individual radiator. Then wait 15-20 minutes and repeat the process. If there is no Mayevsky crane, the process will become more complicated. Read more about this in the article "How to properly bleed air from a heating battery with your own hands."

Clicks, knocks when heating and cooling

Sometimes extraneous sounds occur when batteries begin to heat up or cool down. This is due to the fact that they do it unevenly. The metal expands when heated and contracts when cooled.

In this case, you need to lay gaskets between the brackets on which the battery is attached to the wall or floor and the radiator itself. These can be ordinary pieces of rubber 2-3 mm thick.

Important!

If you have cheap bimetallic radiators, extraneous sounds may occur due to their internal structure. The design of bimetallic radiators differs from the rest - they use two metals. If they do not fit snugly together, you will hear clicks when expanding.

How not to waste solar energy

Duo solar battery + Powerbank

The energy generated by a solar panel is not constant. Therefore, you need to try to use it as much as possible.

For this, a battery-powerbank bundle is best suited. The fact is that often the battery provides more energy than a smartphone, charger, etc. consumes. Some of the energy is not used. And when the battery of the device is being charged, it automatically turns off. And then all the energy goes nowhere. The same energy, which is then so lacking in cloudy weather.

It is worth making it a rule to always keep a connected Powerbank in the solar battery, which will absorb excess energy that is not used by other devices.

And then, in the evening, give it to the devices that had time to be discharged. This is convenient, in particular, for photo and video shooting: during the day the camera batteries are "in business" and there is no way to charge them. But in the evening and at night they can be "refueled" to the eyeballs so that in the morning they are again in full combat readiness.

Noise, hum, hum, extraneous sounds

There are many reasons for constant noise in heating radiators. Let's break them down in order:

Wrong pipe diameter

Sometimes heating pipes are of different diameters and are connected with adapters. Because of this, a pressure drop occurs and turbulences appear in the water or coolant. They lead to vibration and extraneous sounds.

Often, a change in diameter occurs due to clogged pipes. Deposits can build up on their inner walls. This leads to a decrease in bandwidth.

The only way to solve the problem is to cut the old pipes and install new ones.

Pressure drops

Vibration can occur due to pressure surges in the heating system.The reason for this is the uneven operation of the circulation pump.

If you live in an apartment building, you can install a bypass. It will help compensate for pressure drops. But it is best to contact the utilities.

If you have your own heating system, diagnose and prevent the circulation pump. And best of all, call a specialist. This can be done using service for the selection of private specialists PROFI.RU.
