Radiator balancing - this is the process of adjusting the feed coolant to each radiator in the heating system to ensure uniform heat distribution throughout all rooms. The purpose of balancing is to ensure that each radiator receives the required amount of hot water, ensuring uniform heating of the rooms regardless of their location in the heating system.
Radiator Balancing: Main Stages
- Setting up shut-off valves: Thermostatic or manual valves on radiators are adjusted to reduce or increase the flow of coolant.
- Using special tools: Balancing valves and measuring devices are used to precisely adjust the flow of the coolant.
- Testing the system operation: After adjustment, the temperature of the radiators and the temperature in the rooms are checked to ensure that the heat is distributed evenly.
Balancing helps to increase the efficiency of the heating system, reduce energy consumption and improve indoor comfort.
