Maintenance of reverse osmosis equipment in winter

 

In various industries, equipment have their own maintenance methods, reverse osmosis equipment is no exception, reverse osmosis equipment in winter is the need to pay more attention to, especially in the north, the temperature will be relatively low, the raw water temperature will be relatively low, there will be a low amount of water, water production is not up to the standard, if the operation is not appropriate will also cause damage to reverse osmosis equipment, generally in the north of the customer we install the equipment, we will teach how to teach the customers! Systematic maintenance equipment.

Winter if the temperature is too low will trigger the pipeline because of icing and freezing, generally we will recommend that customers in the case of necessity to the equipment to take the heating, if the raw water temperature is very low, but also need to carry out the raw water heating, housing heating, such as the use of fireplaces or heaters, you can also use an electric heater, if the reverse osmosis equipment does not operate in the winter, it is necessary to release the water in the equipment, the reverse osmosis membrane is removed and put into the Indoor, to prevent damage to the reverse osmosis membrane due to icing.

Raw water pipeline heating, general company customers we are asking customers to build the water source with the plant together, so that there will not be because the pipeline is too long caused by the secondary pollution and the winter is not good heating affects the production of the situation.

In winter, if the water inlet pipe freezing can not supply water or water supply hours, is not allowed to force open the reverse osmosis equipment for work, which will damage the original water pump and reverse osmosis membrane must comply with the reverse osmosis membrane element of the water intake requirements, can not blindly pressurized. Generally our company sells equipment installation will be completed by the installer to carry out systematic training, the training process must be 2 people present at the same time to carry out training.

 

Reverse osmosis equipment in the winter use of skills

 

First, with the use of reverse osmosis equipment for a longer period of time the amount of water production will be reduced, but in winter the amount of water production will become less, this is because of the low temperature of the water permeability becomes smaller, reverse osmosis membrane density will correspondingly produce changes in the two reasons will lead to less water production, we operate more carefully and considerate, to strengthen the number of pre-treatment device backwash, rinse time growth, the fine cartridge to be diligent in changing the reverse osmosis membrane backwash time to lengthen. Pressure less surge, so as to ensure the normal operation of reverse osmosis equipment.

Second, usually every 1 ℃ drop in water temperature, reverse osmosis membrane water production decreased by 3%, the winter water production is about 50% of the summer water production. Wastewater increase, due to a decrease in water production, the flow of wastewater will increase accordingly, the wastewater ratio increases, this is a normal phenomenon, to be the temperature back up, the wastewater will be reduced, and the flow of water production increased.

Third, if installed outdoors, there must be anti-freeze measures, if there is no anti-freeze measures may lead to filter bottles, membrane shells, etc. freeze cracks, the temperature below zero degrees must stop using water treatment equipment.

Reverse osmosis equipment installed indoors must ensure that the room temperature must not be below 0 degrees, due to the water in the solidification process volume will expand, if frozen, directly leading to all the pipelines of the water purifier, filter bottles, membrane shells, etc. will burst, so that water leakage occurs.
