What's going on with the radiator?
With the arrival of winter, the frequency of use of radiators gradually increases, and many users report that abnormal noises occur during use of radiators. This article will focus on the hot topic "Why is the radiator noisy?" and combine the hot content of the entire network in the past 10 days to provide you with a detailed analysis of the causes and solutions to the abnormal noise in the radiator.
1. Common causes of abnormal noise in radiators

Abnormal noise from the radiator is usually caused by the following reasons:
| Reason | Specific performance |
|---|---|
| Poor water flow | The water flow inside the radiator is uneven, causing the pipes to vibrate and make sounds. |
| gas blockage | Air accumulates in the radiator, causing air blockage and producing a "gurgling" sound. |
| Thermal expansion and contraction | Metal parts expand or contract due to temperature changes, making a "clicking" sound |
| Installation issues | The bracket is loose or the pipe is not firmly fixed, causing vibration and abnormal noise. |
| Water pressure is too high | The water pressure in the system is too high and the water flow hits the pipe wall causing noise. |
2. Solutions to abnormal noise in radiators
For different causes of abnormal noise, the following solutions can be taken:
| Question type | Solution |
|---|---|
| Poor water flow | Check whether the valve is fully open and clean the inside of the radiator |
| gas blockage | Use the exhaust valve to exhaust the air until clean water comes out |
| Thermal expansion and contraction | It is a normal phenomenon and no special treatment is required. |
| Installation issues | Tighten loose parts and add shock-absorbing pads |
| Water pressure is too high | Adjust system pressure to normal range (1.5-2.0bar) |

4. Suggestions on preventing abnormal noise from radiators
1.Regular maintenance: Inspect and maintain the heating system before the heating season every year
2.Exhaust correctly: Exhaust the air in the system promptly during the initial stage of heating
3.water quality management: Use softened water or add anti-scaling agent to reduce scale formation
4.Professional installation: Choose regular manufacturers and installation teams to ensure installation quality
5.pressure monitoring: Install a pressure gauge and check the system water pressure regularly
5. User FAQs
| question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Will the sound of the radiator affect the heating effect? | Not necessarily, but abnormal noises such as air blockage will affect the heat dissipation efficiency. |
| What should I do if the noise is particularly loud at night? | It may be caused by changes in water pressure at night. System pressure can be adjusted |
| Is it normal for the newly installed radiator to make noise? | If it is not normal, please contact the installer for inspection immediately. |
| Will the sound of the radiator damage the equipment? | Long-term abnormal vibration may affect the life of the equipment |
From the above analysis, we can see that although the problem of abnormal noise in radiators is common, most of it can be solved through simple methods. If self-treatment fails, it is recommended to contact professional maintenance personnel for inspection in time to ensure the safe and stable operation of the heating system.
