Recently, as the cold wave sweeps across the country and extreme low temperatures occur in many places, "What to do if the geothermal freezes" has become a hot topic on social platforms. This article will combine the hot data of the entire network in the past 10 days to provide you with structured solutions.
1. Statistics of hot topics related to geothermal on the entire network (last 10 days)
| Topic keywords | search volume index | Main discussion platform |
|---|---|---|
| geothermal pipes frozen | 285,000 | Baidu/Douyin |
| Floor heating is not hot repair | 193,000 | Weibo/Xiaohongshu |
| Antifreeze selection | 127,000 | Zhihu/Taobao |
| Cold weather response | 562,000 | Comprehensive network |
2. Three main causes of geothermal freezing
According to heating enterprise public data and maintenance platform statistics:
| Fault type | Proportion | Prone temperature |
|---|---|---|
| Pipes frozen and clogged | 47% | -15℃ or below |
| Circulation pump freeze cracked | 33% | -20℃ or less |
| Water distributor failure | 20% | -10℃ or less |
Three and five-step emergency response plan
1.preliminary diagnosis: Check whether the metal part of the water distributor is frosted, touch the pipe to confirm the frozen section
2.Thaw slowly: Use a hair dryer (keep a safe distance of 30cm) or wrap it in a hot towel to thaw
3.System drainage: Close the water inlet valve, open the exhaust valve and drain valve to discharge the ice cubes
4.stress test: After thawing, test the water with a pressure of 0.6MPa and observe the changes in the pressure gauge.
5.Professional maintenance: Contact a certified HVAC engineer for a comprehensive system inspection
4. Comparison of preventive measures that are hotly discussed across the Internet
| Plan | support rate | Implementation cost |
|---|---|---|
| Install heating tape | 68% | 20-50 yuan/meter |
| Add antifreeze | 55% | 100-300 yuan/year |
| Intelligent temperature control system | 42% | 2000-5000 yuan |
| Pipe insulation | 81% | 15-30 yuan/meter |
5. Winter geothermal maintenance suggestions given by professional organizations
1. Maintain heating for at least 4 hours a day and maintain the basic water temperature not lower than 35℃
2. To maintain a 30% flow rate when going out for a long time, it is recommended to install remote monitoring equipment.
3. Perform professional pipeline cleaning every 2 years to avoid impurities that reduce antifreeze performance
4. Choose professional geothermal antifreeze with a -35°C label (requires professional operation)
6. Things to note when settling insurance claims
According to the latest data from the insurance industry:
| Claims items | success rate | Materials required |
|---|---|---|
| burst pipe | 72% | On-site photos/maintenance invoices |
| Equipment damaged | 65% | Product manual/test report |
| Water leakage loss | 58% | Property Proof/Loss List |
It is recommended to check whether your home property insurance covers "freeze damage liability" before the onset of a cold wave, and keep video evidence of the normal operation of the heating system.
Conclusion:Through the analysis of recent hot spots across the entire network, it can be seen that geothermal antifreeze requires "prevention first, supplemented by emergency repairs." It is recommended that users choose the appropriate solution based on their own circumstances and seek help from professional institutions when necessary. According to the weather forecast, low temperatures will continue in the coming week, so please take protective measures in advance.
