Isikhathi esimaphakathi sokuphila kwesifudumezi samanzi siyiminyaka engu-6 kuya kwengu-13. Lawa madivayisi adinga ukulungiswa. Amanzi ashisayo abiza cishe u-20% wokusetshenziswa kwamandla ekhaya, ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukugcina isifudumezi sakho samanzi sisebenza kahle ngangokunokwenzeka.
Uma ungena eshaweni bese amanzi engashisi nhlobo, i-water heater yakho cishe ngeke ivuleke. Uma kunjalo, kungaba lula ukuyilungisa. Ezinye izinkinga zidinga ukuya kuchwepheshe, kodwa ukwazi ezinye izinkinga eziyisisekelo ze-water heater kungakusiza ukuthi unqume ukuthi ungayilungisa yini wena ngokwakho. Udinga nje ukuphenya umthombo wamandla wohlobo lwakho lwe-water heater ukuze uthole inkinga.
Uma isifudumezi sakho samanzi segesi singasebenzi, ukukhanya kwakho kungaba yinkinga. Iningi lezibani zezinkomba litholakala phansi kwesifudumezi samanzi, ngaphansi kwethangi. Kungase kube ngemuva kwephaneli yokufinyelela noma isikrini sengilazi. Funda incwadi yakho yesifudumezi samanzi noma ulandele le miyalelo ukuze uvule izibani futhi.
Uma ukhanyisa i-igniter bese icima ngokushesha, qiniseka ukuthi ubamba inkinobho yokulawula igesi imizuzwana engama-20-30. Uma inkomba ingakhanyi ngemva kwalokhu, kungadingeka ukuthi ulungise noma ufake enye i-thermocouple.
I-thermocouple iyintambo enombala wethusi enezinhlangothi ezimbili zokuxhuma. Igcina i-igniter ivutha ngokudala i-voltage efanele phakathi kokuxhumeka okubili kuye ngokushisa kwamanzi. Ngaphambi kokuzama ukulungisa le ngxenye, kufanele unqume ukuthi i-water heater yakho ine-thermocouple yendabuko noma i-flame sensor.
Ezinye izifudumezi zamanzi zegesi ezintsha zisebenzisa izinzwa zomlilo. Lezi zinhlelo zokushisa zikagesi zisebenza njenge-thermocouples, kodwa zibona ukuthi isishisi sivutha nini ngokubona igesi. Lapho amanzi ebanda kakhulu kunalawo abekwe yi-heater, zombili izinhlelo zivula izibani bese zivuthela isishisi.
Ungathola i-flame detector noma i-thermocouple exhunywe ngaphakathi kwe-burner assembly ngaphambi nje kokukhanya kwe-index. I-flame detectors ivame ukuthembeka kakhulu, kodwa ukungcola kanye nemfucumfucu kungabavimbela ekukhanyiseni i-index noma ekukhanyiseni i-burner.
Njalo thatha izinyathelo zokuphepha ezifanele zikagesi lapho usebenza noma uhlanza izindawo zikagesi. Lokhu kungafaka phakathi ukugqoka iswishi yokushintsha kanye nokugqoka amagilavu ​​​​erabha.
Ngaphambi kokususa i-burner assembly ukuze uhlole udoti, qiniseka ukuthi uvala ne-gas valve ku-water heater kanye nomugqa wegesi eduze kwe-water heater. Sebenza kuphela ku-gas water heater uma uzizwa uphephile, njengoba ukuqhuma nezingozi zingavela uma kusingathwa ngendlela engafanele. Uma uzizwa ukhululekile kakhudlwana nochwepheshe, lena yindlela engcono kakhulu yokuphepha.
Uma unquma ukuqhubeka nokuhlanza i-thermocouple noma inzwa yelangabi, ungasebenzisa i-vacuum cleaner enomlomo omncane ukuze ususe noma yikuphi ukungcola nothuli okubonayo. Uma ivalekile kancane, kufanele iqale ukusebenza ngokujwayelekile futhi. Uma inkomba ingakhanyi ngemva kokuhlanza, inzwa yelangabi noma i-thermocouple ingase ibe nephutha. Izingxenye ezindala zingase zibonise izimpawu zokuguga, njengesikali sensimbi, kodwa ngezinye izikhathi ziyayeka ukusebenza.
Kodwa-ke, kufanele kucatshangelwe ezinye izincazelo zesibonakaliso sephutha ngaphambi kokushintsha i-thermocouple. Intambo ye-thermocouple ingase ibe kude kakhulu nesibonakaliso. Hlola i-thermocouple bese ulungisa izintambo uma kudingeka.
Uma ukukhanya kungavuthi nhlobo, ipayipi lokukhanya lingase livaleke. Lokhu kungaba njalo uma ilangabi libuthakathaka futhi linombala ophuzi. Kulesi simo, i-thermocouple ingase ingaliboni. Ungazama ukwandisa usayizi welangabi ngokususa udoti epayipini lokuhlola.
Okokuqala, cima igesi. Ungathola i-pilot port endaweni yokungena yomugqa wokudla we-pilot. Ibukeka njengepayipi elincane lethusi. Uma usuyitholile ipayipi, yijikisele kwesobunxele ukuze uyikhulule. Incane kakhulu, ngakho-ke indlela engcono kakhulu yokususa udoti ukusula imiphetho nge-cotton swab ecwiliswe ku-alcohol. Ungasebenzisa futhi umoya ocindezelwe ukususa noma yikuphi ukungcola okuqinile. Ngemva kokuhlanza nokuhlanganisa kabusha, vula igesi bese uzama ukuvula isibani futhi.
Uma ulandele imiyalelo engenhla futhi izibani zisacimile noma zicimile, cabanga ngokushintsha i-thermocouple noma inzwa yomlilo. Kushibhile futhi kulula futhi kudinga izingxenye ezisele kanye nama-wrenches. Ama-thermocouple avame ukushintshwa yizitolo zokuthuthukisa ikhaya kanye nezitolo eziku-inthanethi, kodwa uma ungazi ukuthi yini ongayithenga noma uzizwa uphephile ngokulandela imiyalelo yokushintshwa, xhumana nochwepheshe.
Uma unquma ukushintsha i-thermocouple ngokwakho, qiniseka ukuthi ucisha igesi kuqala. Ngokuvamile kunezinhlayiya ezintathu ezibamba i-thermocouple endaweni yazo. Zikhulule ukuze ususe yonke inhlangano yesishisi. Kufanele ishelele kalula iphume ekamelweni lokushisa. Ungabe usususa i-thermocouple bese uyishintsha ngentsha, uhlanganise kabusha isishisi uma usuqedile, bese uhlola ukukhanya kwesikhombisi.
Ama-heater amanzi kagesi anezinduku zokucindezela okuphezulu ezifudumeza amanzi ethangini. Lokhu kungenza izinto zibe nzima kakhulu uma kukhulunywa ngokuthola umthombo wenkinga ye-heater yamanzi.
Uma i-heater yakho yamanzi kagesi ingasebenzi kahle, kuzodingeka uyicime ngaphambi kokuyilungisa. Kwezinye izimo, inkinga ixazululwa ngokumane ushintshe i-circuit breaker noma ukufaka i-fuse eqhumile. Amanye ama-heater amanzi kagesi ane-switch yokuphepha eqala ukusetha kabusha uma ithola inkinga. Ukusetha kabusha le switch eduze kwe-thermostat kungalungisa inkinga, kodwa uma i-heater yakho yamanzi iqhubeka nokucindezela inkinobho yokusetha kabusha, funa ezinye izinkinga.
Isinyathelo esilandelayo ukuhlola i-voltage nge-multimeter. I-multimeter iyithuluzi lokuhlola elisetshenziselwa ukukala ubungako bukagesi. Lokhu kuzokunikeza umbono womthombo wokuntuleka kukagesi lapho isifudumezi sakho samanzi sivaliwe.
Ama-heater amanzi kagesi anesici esisodwa noma ezimbili ezifudumeza amanzi. I-multimeter ingahlola i-voltage yalezi zingxenye ukuqinisekisa ukuthi zisebenza kahle.
Okokuqala cisha i-water heater circuit breaker. Kuzodingeka ususe amaphaneli aphezulu naphansi kanye ne-insulation ukuze usebenze emaphethelweni e-element. Bese uhlola i-water heater nge-multimeter ngokuthinta isikulufu kanye nesisekelo sensimbi se-element. Uma umcibisholo ku-multimeter uhamba, i-element kumele ishintshwe.
Iningi labanikazi bezindlu lingazilungisa mathupha, kodwa uma ungakhululekile ukubhekana namanzi kanye nezingxenye zikagesi, qiniseka ukuthi ubona uchwepheshe. Lezi zinto zivame ukubizwa ngokuthi ziyacwiliswa ngoba zifudumeza amanzi uma zicwiliswa ethangini.
Ukuze ufake esikhundleni se-water heater, udinga ukwazi uhlobo lwe-element ngaphakathi kwedivayisi. Ama-heater amasha angaba nezinto ezifakwa ngezikulufo, kuyilapho ama-heater amadala evame ukuba nezinto ezifakwa ngama-bolt. Ungathola isitembu esibonakalayo ku-water heater esichaza izakhi ze-water heater, noma ungasesha kwi-inthanethi uhlobo kanye nemodeli ye-water heater.
Kukhona nezinto zokushisa eziphezulu nezingezansi. Izinto ezingezansi zivame ukushintshwa ngenxa yokwakheka kwamadiphozithi phansi kwethangi. Unganquma ukuthi iyiphi ephukile ngokubheka izinto ze-water heater nge-multimeter. Uma usuthole uhlobo oluqondile lwe-water heater element oludinga ukushintshwa, thola enye ene-voltage efanayo.
Ungakhetha amandla aphansi lapho ushintsha izinto ukuze wandise impilo yesifudumezi samanzi futhi wonge amandla. Uma wenza lokhu, idivayisi izokhiqiza ukushisa okuncane kunalokho owawukujwayele ngaphambi kokuba kuvele inkinga yokushisa. Futhi, lapho ukhetha izinto ezizoshintshwa, cabanga ngobudala besifudumezi samanzi kanye nohlobo lwamanzi endaweni yakini. Uma udinga usizo lokuthola ingxenye efanele yokushintsha, xhumana nochwepheshe.
Uma unokungabaza mayelana nokusetshenziswa kukagesi namanzi, cela uplamba ukuthi enze umsebenzi. Uma uzizwa uphephile ngokwenza umsebenzi, cisha i-breaker bese uhlola i-voltage nge-multimeter ukuqinisekisa ukuthi akukho mandla anikezwayo ku-water heater ngaphambi kokuthi uqale. Landela imiyalelo engezansi yokushintsha i-water heater ngokuthulula noma ngaphandle kokuthulula ithangi.
Le vidiyo ewusizo evela kuJim Vibrock ikukhombisa ukuthi ungayishintsha kanjani into yokushisa ku-water heater yakho.
Ukugcina izinto zakho zisebenza kuzisiza ukuthi zisebenze kahle futhi kukusize ugweme ukuchitha amanzi noma amandla. Kungandisa nokuphila kwazo. Ngokulungisa isifudumezi samanzi ngesikhathi, uzofaka isandla ebunganini bemvelo bekhaya lakho.
USam Bowman ubhala ngabantu, imvelo, ubuchwepheshe kanye nendlela abahlangana ngayo. Uthanda ukukwazi ukusebenzisa i-inthanethi ukuze akhonze umphakathi wakhe esekhaya lakhe. Ngesikhathi sakhe sokuphumula, uyakujabulela ukugijima, ukufunda nokuya esitolo sezincwadi sendawo.
