What should I do if there are trachoma in the radiator? Comprehensive analysis of causes and solutions
With the arrival of the winter heating season, the use of radiators has become a hot topic recently. According to the data monitoring of the entire network in the past 10 days, the search volume of keywords such as "radiator leakage" and "radiator repair" increased by 35% month-on-month. The following are detailed solutions to the problem of blisters in radiators.
| Question type | Proportion | High incidence period |
|---|---|---|
| Trachoma leakage | 42% | Initial stage of heating |
| The interface is loose | 28% | When the temperature changes suddenly |
| Valve failure | 18% | Continuous use period |
| Other questions | 12% | irregularly |
1. Analysis of the causes of trachoma formation

1.Material problem: The probability of developing blisters in cast iron radiators after being used for more than 5 years is 67%
2.water corrosion: Water quality with a pH value exceeding the standard will accelerate metal corrosion.
3.pressure fluctuations: System pressure exceeding 0.8MPa can easily cause perforation at weak points
| Radiator type | average life span | Probability of trachoma |
|---|---|---|
| cast iron radiator | 15-20 years | 38% |
| Steel radiator | 10-15 years | 22% |
| Copper aluminum composite | 20-25 years | 9% |
2. Emergency treatment plan
1.Temporary plugging method:
• Use special sealing glue (temperature resistant above 120℃)
• Soap + raw tape can be used for temporary sealing in case of emergency
• Close the corresponding circuit valve to reduce the water pressure
2.Professional maintenance solutions:
| How to fix it | Applicable situations | maintenance time |
|---|---|---|
| Welding repair | single point trachoma | 3-5 years |
| Replace film set | multiple trachoma | More than 10 years |
| Whole replacement | Used for more than 8 years | More than 15 years |
3. Suggestions on preventive measures
1.Annual maintenance: System testing should be carried out before and after the heating season
2.water quality treatment: It is recommended to install water softening equipment (hardness ≤200mg/L)
3.pressure monitoring: Keep the system pressure within the range of 0.4-0.6MPa
| maintenance items | cycle | cost |
|---|---|---|
| Pipe cleaning | 2 years/time | 200-400 yuan |
| Pressure detection | every year | free |
| Anti-corrosion treatment | 3 years/time | 150-300 yuan |
4. User FAQs
Q: Will water leakage from trachoma cause immediate danger?
A: Small trachoma leakage is a common problem, but it needs to be dealt with within 24 hours to avoid further damage.
Q: What should I do if I find water leakage at night?
A: Close the water distributor valve immediately, use a container to collect the water, and contact professional maintenance the next day.
Q: How long will it last after repairing?
A: Welding repairs usually last about 3 years. It is recommended that old radiators (more than 10 years old) consider replacing them.
5. Maintenance cost reference
| Services | price range | Warranty period |
|---|---|---|
| Single point welding | 80-150 yuan | 1 year |
| Replace single group | 300-600 yuan | 3 years |
| Whole house replacement | 2000-5000 yuan | 5 years |
Recent data shows that the peak demand for radiator repairs is concentrated from mid-November to early December, and users are advised to conduct inspections in advance. When choosing maintenance services, be sure to confirm that the service provider has special equipment maintenance qualifications to ensure construction safety.
