Common Issues with Industrial Radiators and How to Address Them

It’s always useful to know about the signs that might show your industrial radiator needs maintenance or repair. At Applied Radiators our team are here to help, but first, here are some of the issues that might be affecting the performance of your industrial radiators:

• Leaks
• Holes
• Clogging
• Overheating
• Low pressure
• Corrosion

WHAT YOU CAN DO

If you're inclined to diagnose radiator problems on your own, start by assessing the operation of your heating system. Examine each radiator on your industrial site to evaluate if it is emitting enough or any heat. If numerous units aren't operating, you should get expert assistance.

UNEVEN TEMPERATURES

If you notice that your radiator is cold to the touch on top yet warm on the bottom, this is the result of trapped air. When hot water does not circulate adequately through the device, air replaces it.

This problem requires you to "bleed" the radiator, which entails releasing trapped air through the bleed valve. To open the bleed valve, use a bleed key or flathead screwdriver. A hissing noise indicates that air is being released and that you are completing the job correctly.

LEAKS

If you discover a radiator leaking, inspect the thermostatic valve's connection to the pipes. A loose nut can occasionally cause a radiator to leak. Tighten the nut with a wrench or pliers to check whether it stops or slows the leak. In any circumstance where you find a leak, it is recommended to contact a professional, such as our premier team at Applied Radiators.
