The weather is getting colder, and it’s time for heating engineers to check that the nation’s condensate pipes are ready for any freezing conditions when they are servicing or maintaining a boiler, to avoid frozen condensate pipes at a time when people are particularly reliant on their boilers. We've produced a comprehensive guide that includes lots of useful advice, for both heating engineers and their customers.

With the added risk of pipes freezing over the winter months, it's important to take steps to protect your boiler and central heating system from the elements. One of the most effective ways to do this is by installing trace heating systems. These systems work by using electrical cables to trace, or wrap around, your central heating pipework and use a heating element to raise or maintain the temperature of the pipework. This is one of the most efficient methods of protecting your pipework from freezing, as it targets the exact area and reduces heat loss that you would otherwise get from keeping your heating on low consistently. If you would like to find out more about trace heating systems, or how we can help protect your pipework, get in touch today! https://lnkd.in/eUXEGJ2w #TraceHeatingSystems #FrozenPipes

Cooling Wednesday: Heat Exchanger Efficiency Cooling water systems play a crucial role in many industries by dissipating heat from utility and manufacturing processes, helping to cool buildings and operations. To remove this heat, heat exchangers often rely on water-cooling. This makes effective water treatment essential for reducing costs, ensuring optimal cooling performance, and maintaining heat transfer efficiency. Is your cooling water system equipped with an effective water treatment plan to maximize efficiency and ensure equipment longevity? #IndustrialWaterWeek #CoolingWednesday #CoolingTowers #WaterTreatment #TowerEfficiency 📸 Cooling towers in action.

🌬️❄️ What is an Air Source Heat Pump? 🌬️❄️ CDS Electrical is now installing heat pumps throughout Sussex. They're an innovative, sustainable, and highly efficient technology. Plus there's up to a £7,500 government grant available. But how exactly do they work? Unlike traditional heating systems that burn fuel, an air source heat pump (ASHP) transfers heat from the outside air into a building, making it highly efficient and eco-friendly. Here's how they work: 1️⃣ Absorbing heat from outside air: The outdoor unit draws in air, even in cold weather, and passes it over coils filled with fluid that absorbs heat energy. 2️⃣ Compressing the refrigerant: The absorbed heat turns the fluid into gas, which is then compressed to increase its temperature. 3️⃣ Transferring heat indoors: The compressed refrigerant gas transfers heat to water through a plate heat exchanger. This hot water is then used to heat your home. With the government's Boiler Upgrade Scheme, you can get up to £7,500 towards installing heat pump. 📞 Contact us today on 01323 734162 to learn more and take advantage of the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. #AirSourceHeatPump #SustainableHeating #EnergyEfficiency #CDSElectrical #Eastbourne #BoilerUpgradeScheme #Brighton #lewes #hastings

Ever heard of a buffer tank? It's a part of a low-temperature hot water (LTHW) system that stores heated water. Here's how it works: When the boiler, heat pump or other heat source produces more hot water than needed, the buffer tank holds onto the extra and can extend the life expectancy of your heat source. Then, when you need more heat, the buffer tank releases that stored hot water, keeping the temperature steady and ensuring you always have enough hot water. Basically, it's like a cozy reservoir for hot water that helps your heating system run smoothly, saving energy and keeping you comfortable all day long! #buffertank #lthw #link365

Shell And Tube Water-Cooled Evaporator Condenser will be designed based on the operating conditions as belows: Inlet water temp.: tW1=30℃ Outlet water temp.:tW2=35℃ Condensing temp.: 40℃ Cooling water flow rate:1.5〜2.5m/s

It is critical for steam systems to supply dry steam to heating process because condensate may hinder the heating and cause water hammer. Yoshitake Drain Separator helps to separate condensate from steam effectively and supply dry steam to the process.

🔥❄️ Cold Snap Alert! Tips to Unfreeze Your Gas Furnace Condensate Line ❄️🔥 Brrr! The recent cold snap hit hard, and we've noticed an uptick in frozen condensate lines for gas furnaces. If you're experiencing heating issues, here's a quick guide: 🌬️ Identify the Issue: If your furnace isn't working, a frozen condensate line might be the culprit. Look for ice buildup or an error code on your unit. ❄️ DIY Thawing: Safely thaw the condensate line by pouring warm (not boiling) water over it. Gently chip away ice, but be careful not to damage the pipe. 🛠️ Preventive Measures: Consider insulating the condensate pipe to minimize future freezing. Regular furnace maintenance can also catch issues before they become chilly problems. ☎️ Call the Pros: If DIY efforts fall short, don't hesitate to call in the experts. Our team at Hendrickson HVAC is here to help get your home warm and cozy again! Stay warm, PNW! 🔥🏡❤️ #HVACTips #WinterReady #DIYHomecare #HendricksonHVAC
