Temperature drop, heavy snow, freezing rain and other phenomena are more frequent with the winter; Because of these relatively extreme weather, people's normal life will also be affected. So how can we prevent it?

1. Heavy snow, the weather has significant changes

We have ushered in the solar term of heavy snow. Although the meaning of "heavy snow" in the solar term is different from that of the meteorological "heavy snow", the heavy snow in the solar term also means that the weather has begun to change in the direction of "increased precipitation".

The temperature decreased significantly, and the precipitation increased significantly compared with autumn and early winter. Especially in some areas where the cold and warm air encounter at the front of strong cold air, precipitation (rain or snow) increases.

In the later period, some extreme bad weather will also occur more frequently, such as blizzard warnings, which will not only affect people's health, but also may affect the normal operation of equipment because of low temperature weather, which will affect People's Daily life.

Previously, there have been a number of cases of winter affecting the normal operation of pipelines, HVAC pipeline damage affecting the living environment, drainage pipeline damage affecting people's normal water use. Especially for drainage pipes, it is related to people's physiological health needs.

So, before more cold weather arrives, here are some tips.

2. Measures to prevent pipeline freezing

Preparatory work: "Dressing" the pipe

For the insulation work of the pipeline, one of the most simple and effective ways is to wrap with insulation materials in the early stage. According to the second law of thermodynamics, where there is a temperature difference, there must be heat transfer. Pipe insulation is to reduce heat loss, so as to ensure that the internal and external temperature balance of the pipe.

When people protect water pipes in winter, there are actually some more everyday ways. For example, water pipes, water meters, faucets, etc. exposed to the outdoors are wrapped and insulated with simple materials such as cotton and hemp fabric and plastic foam. But now in order to better insulation effect, more people choose to use professional insulation materials with lower thermal conductivity to achieve the effect of prevention in advance.

For pipeline insulation at home, people usually choose rubber and plastic insulation materials that are easy to install and cost-effective. In the article "To rubber and plastic installation effect 100 points, these 5 precautions need to be thoroughly familiar with the heart", we mentioned that rubber and plastic have two major roles of "insulation" and "protection", which is the best choice for daily living environment insulation. In addition, we also provide you with several suggestions for the self-installation of rubber and plastic insulation materials for reference, including some installation sequence, glue use methods and so on.
