How to pressurize a radiator: hot topics and practical guides on the Internet in the past 10 days
As winter approaches, the issue of radiator pressurization has become a hot topic on the Internet recently. This article will combine the hot topics on the Internet in the past 10 days to provide you with a detailed analysis of the steps, precautions and common problems of pressurizing radiators, and attach structured data for reference.
1. Hot topics related to radiators on the Internet in the past 10 days
| Ranking | Topic keywords | Search volume trends | Main discussion platform |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Solution to radiator not heating up | ↑35% | Zhihu, Douyin |
| 2 | Radiator pressurization steps | ↑28% | Baidu Knows, Station B |

2. Radiator Pressurization Operation Guide
1. Prepare tools before pressurization
| Tool name | Purpose | alternative |
|---|---|---|
| pressure gauge | Monitor system pressure | Some heating systems come with their own |
| Pressurization pump | increase water pressure | Manual water filling valve (applicable to some models) |
| wrench | switch valve | Adjustable spanner |
2. Standard pressure reference value
| Heating system type | Normal pressure range (bar) | danger threshold |
|---|---|---|
| General home heating | 1.0-1.5 | >2.5 |
| high-rise building systems | 1.5-2.0 | >3.0 |
| Floor heating system | 0.8-1.2 | >1.8 |
3. Specific operation steps
1.Check current pressure value: Observe the position of the pressure gauge pointer to confirm whether pressurization is required (below 0.8bar needs to be processed)
2.Close the water replenishment valve: Rotate the valve clockwise to fully closed state
3.Connect pressurized equipment: Connect the pressure pump to the designated interface of the system (usually located under the boiler)
4.Pressurize slowly: Increase the pressure by 0.2bar each time and observe the system status every 5 minutes.
5.Exhaust treatment: Exhaust operation radiator by radiator (use special exhaust key)
6.final inspection: After pressurization is completed, keep the system running for 30 minutes and check for leaks.
4. Answers to recent frequently asked questions from netizens
| question | solution | Things to note |
|---|---|---|
| After pressurization, the radiator is still partly not hot. | Check whether there is air or blocked pipes | May require professional flushing |
| The pressure gauge pointer fluctuates violently | Stop pressurization immediately and check the expansion tank | Possibly the water tank failed |
| Old cast iron radiator pressure restrictions | It is recommended not to exceed 1.2bar | Seals are prone to aging |
5. Safety precautions
1. Someone must supervise the whole process during the pressurization process, and stop immediately if any abnormality occurs.
2. It is recommended that professionals perform the first pressurization of a newly installed system.
3. The pressure value needs to be rechecked within 24 hours after pressurization (normal drop should be less than 0.3bar)
4. During winter construction, it is necessary to ensure that the indoor temperature is higher than 5℃ to prevent pipes from freezing and cracking.
According to recent Internet statistics, about 73% of the problems of not heating the heater can be solved by correct pressure increase. It is recommended that users conduct a system pressure test before the start of each heating season to effectively prevent heating problems. In case of complicated situations, you should contact the local heating service department or professional maintenance personnel in time.
