To all owners of owner-occupied dwellings and apartments with gas heating, periodically it is necessary to make washing of the heat exchanger of gas boiler. This procedure is necessary to prolong the term of operation of the household appliance and to reduce risk of its sudden breakage.
The essence of operation of the heat exchanger of gas boiler consists in warming up and support of stable temperature of heat carriers – special antifreeze or water. Heat carriers, in turn, circulating on heating services, warm batteries, thereby saturating internal space of the dwelling with heat and cosiness.
At intensive operation of gas boiler, on walls of the heat exchanger rather large number of scum or insoluble raid accumulates that can become the cause of its breakage over time. To secure itself against similar trouble, owners of apartments and houses with gas heating, make washing of the heat exchanger of boiler. There are two ways of washing of gas boiler – manual (mechanical) and chemical.
Manual way
The manual way of washing of the heat exchanger is popular owing to the low cost. To solve problem, it is necessary to disassemble boiler, to take the heat exchanger and to wash it with the special cleaning mixes. After washing, it is necessary to make mounting of the heat exchanger again and to assemble the boiler. Despite all the availability, this way is not optimum as when dismantling the body and mechanisms of gas boiler, it is possible to damage inadvertently its sealing elements and other parts. In turn, damage of sealants can break tightness of the household appliance that is extremely undesirable in terms of safety measures.
Chemical way
The chemical way also allows to make effective cleaning of the heat exchanger of the scum which has accumulated on its walls. However this way has essential advantage which is that when carrying out cleaning works, need of dismantling of gas boiler and dismantling of the heat exchanger disappears. It is clever and safe way, though more costly in the financial plan. Its essence consists in connection to gas boiler of the special device which functionally reminds the pump. This device throughout some time drives special highly effective chemical reagents on the heat exchanger of gas boiler. Without a doubt, the chemical way costs the money spent for it as reagents destroy not only the raid which has accumulated on heat exchanger walls but also effectively clean tubes, cranes, circulating pump and other elements of gas boiler.
