Ko te roanga o te ora o tētahi whakamahana wai he 6 ki te 13 tau. Me tiaki ēnei taputapu. Tata ki te 20% o te whakamahinga hiko o te whare e whakamahia ana e te wai wera, nō reira he mea nui kia whakahaere tonu tō whakamahana wai i te huarahi tino whai hua.
Ki te peke koe ki roto i te kaukau, ā, kāore te wai e wera rawa, tērā pea kāore tō whakamahana wai e tahuri. Ki te pērā, he ngāwari noa iho te whakatika. Ko ētahi raruraru me haere ki te tohunga, engari mā te mōhio ki ētahi raruraru whakamahana wai taketake ka āwhina i a koe ki te whakatau mēnā ka taea e koe te whakatika i a koe anō. Me rapu noa e koe te pūtake hiko mō tō momo whakamahana wai kia kitea ai te raruraru.
Mena kāore tō whakamahana wai hau e mahi ana, ko tō rama pea te raruraru. Kei raro i te whakamahana wai te nuinga o ngā rama tohu, i raro i te tāke. Kei muri pea i te papa urunga, i te mata karāhe rānei. Pānuihia te pukapuka ā-ringa mō tō whakamahana wai, whai rānei i ēnei tohutohu hei whakakā anō i ngā rama.
Ki te tahuna e koe te mura ahi, ā, ka mate tonu, kia mau tonu te porotiti whakahaere hau mō te 20-30 hēkona. Ki te kore te tohu e mura i muri i tēnei, me whakatika, me whakakapi rānei te takirua wera.
He waea parahi te thermocouple, e rua ōna pito hono. Mā tēnei ka mura tonu te mura mā te hanga i te ngaohiko tika i waenga i ngā hononga e rua, i runga i te pāmahana o te wai. I mua i te whakatikatika i tēnei wāhanga, me whakatau koe mēnā he thermocouple tuku iho, he pūoko mura rānei tō whakamahana wai.
Ka whakamahia e ētahi whakamahana wai hau hou ngā pūoko mura. He rite te mahi a ēnei pūnaha mura hiko ki ngā thermocouples, engari ka kitea e rātou te mura o te mura mā te kite i te hau. Ina mātao ake te wai i te mea kua whakaritea e te whakamahana, ka tahuri ngā pūnaha e rua i ngā rama ka whakakā i te mura.
Tērā pea ka kitea e koe he pūoko mura, he pūoko wera rānei e hono ana ki roto o te huihuinga mura i mua tata tonu i te rama tohu. He pono ake ngā pūoko mura, engari ka taea e te paru me ngā para te aukati i a rātou ki te tahu i te tohu, ki te tahu rānei i te mura.
Me whakamahi tonu i ngā mahi ārai hiko i te wā e mahi ana, e horoi ana rānei i ngā wāhi hiko. Kei roto pea i tēnei ko te mau i te pana whakawhiti me te mau karapu rapa.
I mua i te tango i te huihuinga mura hei tirotiro i ngā paru, kia tino kati hoki te takirere hau i runga i te whakamahana wai me te raina hau i te taha o te whakamahana wai. Me mahi noa i runga i te whakamahana wai hau mēnā kei te haumaru koe, nā te mea ka puta ngā pahūtanga me ngā aituā mēnā ka hē te whakahaere. Ki te pai ake koe ki te whai i tētahi tohunga, koinei te huarahi pai hei noho haumaru.
Ki te whakatau koe ki te horoi tonu i te pūrua wera, i te pūoko mura rānei, ka taea e koe te whakamahi i tētahi kaihoroi me te pūwero angiangi hei tango i te paru me te puehu e kitea ana e koe. Mena he paku noa te aukati, me tīmata anō te mahi i te āhua noa. Ki te kore te tohu e mura i muri i te whakakorenga, tera pea he hapa te pūoko mura, te pūrua wera rānei. Tērā pea ka kitea he tohu pakaru i ngā wāhanga tawhito, pērā i te unahi whakarewa, engari i ētahi wā ka mutu te mahi.
Heoi anō, me whai whakaaro ki ētahi atu whakamāramatanga o te tohu hapa i mua i te whakakapinga o te thermocouple. Tērā pea he tawhiti rawa te waea thermocouple i te tohu. Tirohia te thermocouple, ā, whakatikatikahia ngā waea mēnā e tika ana.
Ki te kore te rama e kā, tera pea kua purua te ngongo rama. Tērā pea ka pēnei anō mēnā he ngoikore te mura, ā, he karaka te tae. I tēnei wā, tērā pea kāore e kitea e te thermocouple. Ka taea e koe te whakamātau ki te whakanui ake i te rahi o te mura mā te tango i ngā paru mai i te ngongo pairati.
Tuatahi, whakawetohia te hau. Ka kitea te putanga pairati i te tomokanga o te raina whāngai pairati. He rite ki te ngongo parahi iti. Kia kitea te ngongo, hurihia ki te taha maui hei wetewete. He tino whaiti, nō reira ko te huarahi pai ki te tango i ngā paru ko te muru i ngā taha ki te miro kua toua ki te waipiro. Ka taea hoki e koe te whakamahi i te hau kōpeke hei tango i ngā paru uaua. I muri i te horoi me te whakakotahi anō, tahurihia te hau, ka ngana anō ki te tahuri i te rama.
Mena kua whai koe i ngā tohutohu i runga ake nei, ā, kei te mate tonu ngā rama, whakaarohia te whakakapi i te pūoko werawera, i te pūoko mura rānei. He iti te utu, he ngāwari hoki, ā, me whai wāhanga tāpiri me ngā kī. He maha ngā wā ka whakakapia ngā pūoko werawera e ngā toa whakapaipai whare me ngā toa ipurangi, engari ki te kore koe e mōhio he aha te mea hei hoko, ki te kore rānei koe e pai ki te whai i ngā tohutohu whakakapinga, whakapā atu ki tētahi tohunga.
Ki te whakatau koe ki te whakakapi i te thermocouple māu ake, kia tino whakawetohia te hau i te tuatahi. E toru ngā nati e pupuri ana i te thermocouple ki tōna tūranga. Tukua kia tangohia te huinga mura katoa. Me ngāwari te neke atu i te ruma mura. Kātahi ka taea e koe te tango i te thermocouple ka whakakapi ki tētahi mea hou, ka huihui anō i te mura ina oti, ka whakamātau i te rama tohu.
He tokotoko pēhanga teitei kei roto i ngā whakamahana wai hiko hei whakamahana i te wai i roto i te tāke. Ka uaua ake pea te kimi i te pūtake o te raruraru o te whakamahana wai.
Mena kāore tō whakamahana wai hiko e mahi tika ana, me whakaweto e koe i mua i te whakatika. I ētahi wā, ka whakatauhia te raruraru mā te whakawhiti noa i te pūwāhi ara iahiko, te whakakapi rānei i te fiusi kua pakaru. Kei ētahi whakamahana wai hiko he pana haumaru e whakaoho ana i te tautuhi anō mena ka kitea he raruraru. Mā te tautuhi anō i tēnei pana i te taha o te thermostat ka whakatika pea i te raruraru, engari ki te pēhi tonu tō whakamahana wai i te pātene tautuhi, rapua ētahi atu raruraru.
Ko te mahi e whai ake nei ko te tirotiro i te ngaohiko me te mita maha. He taputapu whakamātautau te mita maha e whakamahia ana hei ine i ngā rahinga hiko. Mā tēnei ka hoatu he whakaaro ki a koe mō te pūtake o te korenga o te hiko ina whakawetohia tō whakamahana wai.
Kotahi, e rua rānei ngā wāhanga o ngā whakamahana wai hiko hei whakamahana i te wai. Ka taea e te mita maha te tirotiro i te ngaohiko o ēnei wāhanga kia tino tika ai te mahi.
Tuatahi, whakawetohia te whati hiko o te whakamahana wai. Me tango e koe ngā panera o runga, o raro hoki, me te whakamarumaru kia taea ai te mahi i ngā taha o te huānga. Kātahi ka whakamātauria te huānga whakamahana wai ki te mita maha mā te pā atu ki te tīwiri me te turanga whakarewa o te huānga. Ki te neke te pere i runga i te mita maha, me whakakapi te huānga.
Ka taea e te nuinga o ngā kaipupuri whare te mahi i ngā whakatikatika mā rātou anō, engari ki te kore koe e pai ki te mahi me ngā wāhanga wai me te hiko, me toro atu ki tētahi tohunga. E kiia ana ēnei wāhanga he mea ruku wai nā te mea ka wera te wai ina rukuhia ki roto i te tāke.
Hei whakakapi i tētahi wāhanga whakamahana wai, me mōhio koe ki te momo wāhanga kei roto i te taputapu. Tērā pea he wāhanga tīwiri kei roto i ngā whakamahana hou, engari he maha ngā wāhanga pūmau kei roto i ngā whakamahana tawhito. Ka kitea e koe he tānga tūturu kei runga i te whakamahana wai e whakaahua ana i ngā wāhanga o te whakamahana wai, ka taea rānei e koe te rapu i te Ipurangi mō te waitohu me te tauira o te whakamahana wai.
Kei reira anō ngā wāhanga whakamahana o runga me raro. He maha ngā wā ka whakakapia ngā wāhanga o raro nā te hanganga o ngā putunga ki raro o te tāke. Ka taea e koe te whakatau ko tēhea te mea kua pakaru mā te tirotiro i ngā wāhanga o te whakamahana wai me te mita maha. Kia mōhio koe ki te momo wāhanga whakamahana wai e tika ana kia whakakapia, kimihia he whakakapinga me te ngaohiko ōrite.
Ka taea e koe te whiriwhiri i te mana iti iho i te wā e whakakapi ana i ngā wāhanga hei whakaroa i te roa o te ora o te whakamahana wai, hei penapena hiko hoki. Ki te mahi koe i tēnei, ka iti ake te wera e whakaputaina ana e te taputapu i tōu whakamahinga i mua i te puta mai o te raruraru wera. Waihoki, i te wā e whiriwhiri ana i ngā wāhanga whakakapinga, whakaarohia te pakeke o te whakamahana wai me te momo wai i tō rohe. Mena kei te hiahia āwhina koe ki te tautuhi i te wāhanga whakakapinga tika, whakapā atu ki tētahi tohunga.
Mena he ruarua āu mō te whakamahinga o te hiko me te wai, tonoa he kaimahi paipa ki te mahi i te mahi. Mena kei te pai koe ki te mahi i te mahi, whakawetohia te pūwehe hiko, ka tirohia te ngaohiko me te mita maha kia tino mohio ai kāore he hiko e tukuna ana ki te whakamahana wai i mua i te tīmatanga. Whāia ngā tohutohu i raro nei mō te whakakapi i te wāhanga whakamahana wai me te kore rānei e whakawātea i te tāke.
Mā tēnei ataata whai hua mai i a Jim Vibrock koe e whakaatu ki te whakakapi i te wāhanga whakamahana i roto i tō whakamahana wai.
Mā te whakahaere tonu i ō taputapu hiko ka āwhina i a rātou ki te mahi pai, ā, ka ārai hoki i te moumou wai, i te maumau pūngao rānei. Ka taea hoki e ia te whakaroa i tōna roanga ora. Mā te whakatika i te whakamahana wai i te wā tika, ka whai wāhi koe ki te tiaki taiao o tō whare.
