Amakhulu abantu ahlushwa ukusha, ukushisa kanye nokunye ukulimala minyaka yonke ngenxa yokushisa ngokweqile kwempompi noma amanzi eshawa. Ngokuphambene nalokho, igciwane leLegionella elibulalayo lingakhula ezifudumezini zamanzi ezibekwe phansi kakhulu ukubulala isilwane. Ama-valve okuxuba asebenzisa i-thermostatic angasiza ngazo zombili lezi zinkinga. [Isithombe sivela ku: istock.com/DenBoma]

Indlela Yokufaka I-Thermostatic Mixing Valve
Isikhathi: amahora angu-1-2
Imvamisa: njengoba kudingeka
Ubunzima: Kunconywa ulwazi oluyisisekelo lokufaka amapayipi kanye nokushisela
Amathuluzi: isikrufu esilungisekayo, ukhiye we-hex, i-screwdriver, i-solder, i-thermometer
Ama-thermostatic mixers angafakwa ku-water heater uqobo noma ku-plumbing fixture ethile, njengaseshaweniivalvuNazi izinyathelo ezine ezibalulekile zokuqonda nokufaka ivalvu ye-thermostatic ku-water heater yakho.

Isinyathelo 1: Funda ngama-Thermostatic Mixing Valve
I-valve yokuxuba ye-thermostatic ixuba amanzi ashisayo nabandayo ukuqinisekisa amazinga okushisa ahlala njalo, aphephile eshawa kanye namanzi ompompi ukuvimbela ukulimala. Amanzi ashisayo angabangela ukushisa, kodwa ngokuvamile, ukulimala kubangelwa "ukushaqeka kokushisa," njengokushelela noma ukuwa lapho amanzi aphuma ekhanda leshawa eshisa kakhulu kunalokho obekulindelekile.

Ivalvu ye-thermostatic iqukethe igumbi lokuxuba elilawula ukungena kwamanzi ashisayo nabandayo ezingeni lokushisa elihleliwe. Izinga lokushisa eliphezulu lingalungiswa kuye ngohlobo kanye nohlobo lwevalvu yokuxuba efakiwe, kodwa izinga lokushisa elingu-60˚C (140˚F) livame ukunconywa eCanada ukubulala amagciwane abulalayo ahlobene nesifo se-Legionnaires.

qaphela!
Hlola njalo izinga lokushisa eliphezulu kakhulu elinconywe uhlobo lwe-thermostaticivalvuifakiwe. Uma ungabaza, thintana nochwepheshe wokufaka amapayipi.

Isinyathelo 2: Lungiselela ukufaka i-valve yokuxuba
Nakuba ukufakwa kobungcweti kuyindlela engcono kakhulu yokuqinisekisa ukuthi umsebenzi wenziwa ngokuphephile nangokunembile, lezi zinyathelo zichaza inqubo eyisisekelo yokufaka ivalvu yokuxuba ethangini lokuhambisa. Amavalvu okugeza angasetshenziswa futhi, isibonelo, lapho edinga ukusethwa kwezinga lokushisa okuhlukile kunezinye izimpompi noma izinto zikagesi.

Ngaphambi kokuqala ukufaka, qiniseka ukuthi usukulungele umsebenzi:

Cima umphakeli wamanzi oyinhloko.
Vula wonke amapayipi endlini bese uvumela amapayipi opha. Lokhu kuzothulula amanzi asele emapayipini.
Khetha indawo yokufaka ivalvu yokuxuba okulula ukuyihlanza, ukuyinakekela, noma ukuyilungisa.
Ngiyathokoza ukwazi!
Kuzothatha isikhathi ukukhipha amanzi emigqeni yamanzi, ngakho-ke sicela ubekezele! Futhi, ezinye izinto zikagesi, njengemishini yokuwasha izitsha, zingazuza emanzini ashisayo engeziwe. Cabanga ukuxhuma ngqo kusuka kusifudumezi samanzi kuya kumshini bese udlula ivalvu ye-thermostatic.
qaphela!

Hlola njalo amakhodi esakhiwo kanye namapayipi endawo yakho ukuthola noma yiziphi izimfanelo noma izinqubo ezithile ezidingekayo ukufaka ukuxubana kwe-thermostaticivalvu.

Isinyathelo 3: Faka i-Thermostatic Mixing Valve
Uma usucimile amanzi futhi ukhethe indawo yokufaka, usukulungele ukufaka ivalvu.

Ngokuvamile, ivalvu yokuxuba ingafakwa kunoma iyiphi indawo, kodwa sicela ubheke imiyalelo yomenzi ukuqinisekisa ukuthi lokhu kunjalo ngemodeli oyikhethayo.
Xhuma ugesi wamanzi. Ipayipi ngalinye logesi elishisayo nelibandayo linendawo yokuxhuma, indawo yokukhipha amanzi exubile ye-heater.
Shisela ukuxhumeka kwevalvu ngaphambi kokubopha ivalvu yokuxuba ukuze uvimbele umonakalo kunoma yimaphi ama-gasket. Ivalvu yakho ingafakwa epayipini ngaphandle kokushisela.
Namathisela ivalvu yokuxuba endaweni yayo bese uyiqinisa ngesikrufu.
Ngemva kokufaka ivalvu ye-thermostatic, vula amanzi abandayo, bese uvula amanzi ashisayo bese uhlola ukuvuza.
Isinyathelo 4: Lungisa izinga lokushisa
Ungahlola izinga lokushisa lamanzi ashisayo ngokuvula impompi bese usebenzisa i-thermometer. Ukuze uzinzise izinga lokushisa lamanzi, livumele ligeleze okungenani imizuzu emibili ngaphambi kokuhlola izinga lokushisa.
Uma udinga ukulungisa izinga lokushisa lamanzi:

Sebenzisa isikrufu se-hex ukuvula isikulufu sokulungisa izinga lokushisa ku-valve yokuxuba ye-thermostatic.
Jikisa isikulufu ngokuphambene newashi ukuze wandise izinga lokushisa bese ujika ngokwewashi ukuze wehlise izinga lokushisa.
Qinisa izikulufo bese uhlola izinga lokushisa futhi.
Ngiyathokoza ukwazi!

Ukuze usebenzise ngokuphephile, hlola imiyalelo yomenzi yezilungiselelo zokushisa eziphezulu nezincane ezinconywa yivalvu yokuxuba.

Halala, ufake noma ufake i-valve yokuxuba i-thermostatic ngempumelelo futhi waqinisekisa ukuthi ikhaya lakho lizoba namanzi ashisayo angenamagciwane kuyo yonke indlu iminyaka ezayo. Sekuyisikhathi sokuphumula ngokugeza okushisayo nokuzindla ngomsebenzi wakho wobuciko.
