Cleaning radiators is an important part of maintaining an efficient, reliable central heating system and power flushing provides a speedy, thorough method of clearing out corrosion and other debris from the system. Part L of the UK Building Regulations even requires that systems are cleaned and flushed before adding anti-corrosion chemicals during commissioning whilst the warranty of new boilers often depends on correct cleaning and flushing. Thermal imaging provides a great, quantitative method of checking the performance of a heating system before and after flushing, thereby confirming the efficacy of the flushing process and visualising the results for the customer.
Power Flush
Power Flushing Heating Systems
Power Flushing is a process by which heating systems are forcibly cleansed
using water at high velocity, but low pressure, so that no physical damage is
caused to the system.The process can be made even more effective with
the addition of powerful cleaning agents (CHEMICALS)
The objective is to restore systems with circulation and boiler noise problems
(caused by sludge and corrosion deposits) to optimum operation.Power flushing removes these deposits and the problems that they cause....
It is prudent to power flush a heating system immediately before fitting a new boiler
to an existing system to prevent possible future problems.Many systems are found to
contain corrosion and sludge, even if no flow problems have yet shown themselves.
Existing debris is often mobilised by alterations to the system/piping and the increased efficiency
of the new boiler, and may then accumulate in the boiler heat exchanger, causing noisy operation,
reduced efficiency and, in extreme circumstances, failure of the boiler. The high efficiency and
compactness of modern boilers, developed to minimise fuel costs and pollution, means that they
are more susceptible to problems caused by debris in the system water.
The CLEARFLOW power flushing process is a versatile, easy to use and highly effective method of flushing heating systems. By utilising CLEARFLOW system flushing pumps, heating systems can be purged of sludge, scale and corrosion deposits with minimal dismantling and disruption.
The CLEARFLOW power flushing pump is simply connected into the heating system, either across standard circulator pump couplings, across the tails of one radiator, or wherever most practicable. The powerful flow, combined with instantaneous flow reverser device, will dislodge and mobilise deposits and corrosion which resist traditional system cleaning methods.
Once the corrosion and sludge deposits have been loosened and mobilised, fresh clean water is forced through the heating system, pushing the contaminated water out through a full bore dump valve to waste. During the CLEARFLOW process, radiators are individually flushed, without removing or disconnecting them from the system, by directing the full output of the pump through each radiator separately.
At the end of the flushing process, the system contains fresh clean water and reinstatement of the system to normal operation takes only a few minutes.
System flushing will not remedy design or mechanical faults, which should be rectified, but in many cases it will cure the problems caused by these.
