Radiators from noise

Radiators from noise – Question from a reader: ” What can you say about the noise , which publishes aluminum battery during operation. I noise very clearly . This defect is characterized by a certain type of battery or a marriage or all aluminum noise ? ”

Indeed , those who are faced with the problem of noise radiators , primarily “sin” on the heatsink . But most of the noise sources are faulty communication and violations of operating conditions. Let’s dwell on the problem and consider the options .

To begin with , that your heating radiator should be legalized . If there is an act on his hands to receive batteries for operation , compiled by the representative of the management company , then the radiator can be considered roadworthy and installed correctly !

However, we recommend re- inspect heating radiator, without the help of a specialist in the person familiar mechanic and find out whether or not your battery meets all the parameters and home heating system is installed correctly . If you find that the battery is still not installed correctly , the radiator and noise because of this , you have to hold the battery installation at their own expense – because of the noise will still need to get rid of.

Such a case is rare, the most likely cause of noise is not the battery, and especially not the material from which made the radiator , and violations of operating modes in the entire heating system. In practice there are many cases of noise radiators – as aluminum ( as in our case ) and bimetallic . This proves that noise does not depend on the material of manufacture. Radiator in this case only the conductor noise whose source is the following violations in the heating system .

1. The presence of air in the radiator heating. Need to eliminate the noise by opening the tap Majewski and descent having air in the radiator. A similar procedure should be carried out and on the upper portion of the riser ( in the attic ) , drain , and then close the valve.

2 . High flow rate of water as a coolant in the radiator , not the characteristic parameters for your system. Such noises often occur in the pipe system . Radiators are installed according to plan heating system (for example, with the addition of sections) of the whole system is deteriorating and there is subcooling . Necessary to increase the rate of the coolant , which leads eventually to the noise. Get rid of the noise , resembling the noise from the open tap, you can control the flow of water through the device to the desired quantity of flow . Put device ( manual adjustment valve ) front radiator inlet with reduced resistance or risers everything in the house, by which regulate the system.

3 . Resonance heating system between the pump and pressure. It happens that the circulation pump is not in accordance with the indices of the system , so there is a resonance phenomenon , and there are noises . This can be avoided by installing anti-vibration valves between the pipes and circulation pump .

4 . Thermal expansion during heating pipes – another possible reason for the appearance of noise. Shocks and noises reminiscent of clicks, if of metal, which appear from time to time . In this case the source of the noise –  radiator which the heating and expansion of the material begins to “ride ” on the fasteners . You can get rid of cod with a rubber washer placed between the radiator and mounting hardware .

5 . Thermostatic valve and flow in the wrong direction – the next possible cause of the noise. Radiator starts to make noise (noise is most similar knock ) , where the water flow rate is such that the water against the spring , compressing thermostatic valve , leading to vibration rod (located in the valve ) and knocking against the hull . Therefore, compliance with the correct direction of flow will help eliminate the problem of noise.

Find out the actual cause and source of the noise can only be experimenting and eliminating all the possible causes of noise points . And in order to avoid unpleasant consequences , suggested replacing radiators strictly in place of the old device without increasing the capacity and operating pressure. Properly installed unit with the same parameters will never cause noise and conductor tiring !
