Many places have entered the heating season! Be sure to pay attention to these things, otherwise you will get sick!

Starting from November 1st, Shenyang, Tianjin and other places entered the heating season and officially started heating.

In the early morning of November 1, at Shenyang Hunan Heating Co., Ltd., the outlet water temperature of the primary network exceeded 53 degrees Celsius, and the return water temperature reached 33 degrees Celsius.

Zhao Weijia, assistant to the general manager of Liaoning Shenyang Hunan Heating Co., Ltd.: The current primary network water temperature of more than 50 degrees Celsius can fully meet the heating requirements in the early November.

It is understood that the total heating area in Liaoning Province is 1.56 billion square meters, and the required coal storage is 17.12 million tons. The coal storage has reached 12.887 million tons, with a coal storage rate of 75.3%, an increase of 13.9% over the same period last year. At present, except for Dalian, other regions have started heating.

Tianjin officially started heating at 00:00 on November 1. This is the seventh consecutive year that Tianjin has provided heating to citizens ahead of schedule.

Hebei issued a blue warning for cold waves and some counties and districts provided heating in advance

In the past few days, the Hebei Provincial Meteorological Observatory has continuously issued blue warning signals for cold waves: Affected by the cold wave, the lowest temperature in some areas of Chengde City, Hebei Province has dropped to minus 9 degrees Celsius. In order to cope with the cold wave weather, Fengning, Luanping and other counties and districts have started early heating on October 31 .

Speaking of heating, it is not just a tool for keeping warm. Many netizens regard it as a "universal cabinet"! For example, roasting orange peels on the radiator will fill the house with natural fruit aroma.

However...

Be careful when using heating

Be careful, some things really can't be roasted on the heater...

In addition, "The heating is on, but the house is not hot", "Why is the temperature of the radiator hot and cold", "What should I do if the heating is leaking", "Do I still have to pay for heating if I don't use it", "Can the hot water in the radiator be used"... We have collected common questions to help you "dispel the cold".

Heating tips

Question 1: The heating is "holding air" and needs to be released

In the early stage of heating, a large amount of air also enters the heating pipes during the water supply process. If it cannot be discharged in time and accumulates in the pipes, it will cause the heating to not be hot.

Solution: There is a manual vent valve behind each radiator. Unscrew the shaft and exhaust the air until the water flow is stable. If the screws of the heating vent valve are rusted, do not twist them rashly to avoid the vent valve breaking and causing the heating hot water to spray out . Ask professional plumbing personnel to come to your home for repair. At the same time, residents living in high-rise buildings should check the heating temperature regularly. If uneven heating is found, exhaust the air in time.

Problem 2: The pipeline system is blocked and needs to be cleaned

If the indoor temperature was 20 degrees last year, and the indoor temperature has dropped while the boiler room and heat exchange station are working normally, then it can be gradually judged that the radiator wall is seriously blocked and needs to be cleaned by professionals.

Solution: Normally, geothermal users should have their pipes cleaned every two years, and old-style heating users should have their pipes professionally cleaned every seven to eight years .

Question 3: The heater is "overdue" and needs to be replaced

Another reason why the heating is not hot may be that the heating has been used for too long, the inner wall is scaled, the thermal resistance is increased, resulting in poor water flow and low temperature. The service life of the old radiator is about 20 years, and the service life of the new radiator is about 7 or 8 years, and 10 years has basically reached the limit.

Solution: Residents should replace the heater with a new one before the upper limit of service life is reached according to their own actual situation.

Problem 4: Human factors

Some of the reasons why the heating is not hot are caused by the users, such as overloading and adding more radiators, installing drain valves privately, adding water circulation pumps, etc. The act of adding pumps privately is actually strictly prohibited in the heating management regulations and is illegal.

Tips

After the heating starts, the first thing to do to replenish water is to drink more water. According to some studies, lack of water in the body and hindered metabolism will accelerate the growth of bacteria and accelerate aging.

In terms of diet, you should eat more fruits and vegetables. Fruits such as apples, pears, bananas, and oranges are suitable. Foods such as lilies, sesame seeds, radishes, tomatoes, tofu, and white fungus are also suitable. Be careful to avoid spicy, fried, sweet and greasy foods. Children and teenagers should not drink alcohol.

Because dry skin is prone to itching, the water temperature when bathing should be around 32-36°C, and excessive use of soap is not advisable.
