The plumbing radiator is installed upside down, does it have an impact?
Yes, it has an impact.
The result of the reverse installation of the water heating radiator is either cold, or the effect is not good, and it can't be heated up after a day.
Generally, the commonly used water circulation methods of water heating radiators are divided into: bottom in and bottom out, top in and bottom out, and bottom in and bottom out.
So, what are the situations in which plumbing radiators are installed? How to solve it?
If the radiator is reversed, the consequences are not just as simple as "a little cool"!
Imagine that you are looking forward to the little blessings of winter with joy - as soon as you come home, you will be surrounded by warm arms, and the result... Hey, the radiator is "rebellious", and it is against you, and it has become the "refrigeration master" at home♀️ At this time, do you wonder if you have turned on some mysterious "energy saving mode"?
In fact, the radiator is not big, but it is not small. It's like you've prepared a big meal, and when you put it on the plate, you have reversed the position of the dessert and the main dish, and although you can eat it, you always feel that something is wrong. ️ The way the radiator circulates in and out of the water, just like the layout on the dining table, once it is confused, the effect will naturally be greatly reduced.
There are three common ways for radiators to enter and exit water: down in and out, up in and out of the bottom, and bottom in and out, each of which has its "temperament". If it is installed in the opposite direction, it is like connecting the wrong blood vessel to the heart, and the blood (oh no, it is hot water) will not flow, and the heating will naturally not be effective. Imagine what should have been a hot spring-like indulgence turned out to be an Arctic expedition, and this experience is literal!
So, what are the specific situations of radiator installation? Let me break it down for you:
1. The radiators are installed upside down, and they are installed as bottom-in and top-out. In this case, the water will be circulated very slowly, and the radiator will not be able to heat up. The solution is very simple, just change the management.
2. Adopt a bottom-in, bottom-out method. The correct installation method of this method is left in and right out, that is, the left side of the radiator is used as the water inlet pipe, and the right side is used as the return pipe. And reverse installation is to install the right in and left out. The solution is to change the inlet and outlet locations again.
3. In addition to the reverse loading of the water inlet and outlet method, there is another situation that is easy to reverse the inflow and outflow. That is, the high group of vertical radiators is horizontally installed as a low type, although the radiators can also be used, but it will cause poor circulation and greatly reduce the heating effect. Therefore, if you want to install a short one, don't buy a vertical one, come back and wear it horizontally, it will affect the heat dissipation effect, not to mention, it will bring some unnecessary trouble. The solution is the same as the first two, just connect it in the right way.
Therefore, the installation of radiators is really a technical job! Once it is reversed, it not only wastes energy, but also makes people feel cold. If your family has also suffered such a "cold" door incident, don't worry, find a professional master to "set things right" and ensure that your family's winter is as warm as Lucky Star Chinese Restaurant!
Remember, a warm home needs every detail in place, don't let a small mistake become a "small mourning" in winter.
