How to Reduce the Fuel Consumption of Anchor Rig

Ⅰ. The idle speed function of the anchor rig must be used correctly


In order to avoid fuel waste and loss of engine, the anchoring rig should avoid idling for a long time during operation.


Ⅱ. Reasonable selection of drilling tools and construction methods for anchor rig


In order to achieve effective drilling, it is necessary to adopt suitable power head speed and pressure according to the geological conditions. Improper control of the speed and pressure of the power head will not only cause the power head to hold pressure (excessive load, power head motor overflow, power head can not rotate), cause the hydraulic oil temperature to rise rapidly, but also cause the power consumed by the equipment Increase and waste fuel.


When the power head is holding pressure, the operator of the anchoring rig should appropriately reduce the pressure according to the specific conditions of the site to allow the power head to slowly resume rotation. If necessary, it is necessary to reverse the power head or operate the main hoist to raise the drill rod to prevent the drill from jamming.


Ⅲ. The throttle gear should be properly controlled for the anchor rig


When drilling anchor rigs, many drivers adjust the throttle to the highest position no matter what their actions are. This is actually a wrong way of operation, which not only wastes fuel, but also damages equipment. Through a large number of experiments, it is found that under the same drilling operating conditions, the engine fuel consumption is lower and the fuel efficiency is higher when the low-speed throttle is used.


Ⅳ. Keep the air filter clean for anchor rig


If the air filter is too dirty, it will cause high resistance to air circulation, incomplete combustion of the mixture, and reduced engine power. When the anchor rig is maintained, the filter element cannot be cleaned by impact or knocking. It can be cleaned with compressed air, pressurized water or detergent; before the filter element is installed in the filter housing, make sure that the cleaned filter element is completely dry.


Ⅴ. The fuel system of the anchor rig should be maintained regularly


If the fuel filter effect is not good, the debris in the diesel will enter the fuel injection pump, which will easily accelerate the wear of the precision parts, which will reduce the engine power and increase the fuel consumption. If the water and gum in the fuel enter the cylinder, it will cause the combustible mixture to burn badly, resulting in a decrease in engine power and an increase in fuel consumption.


Therefore, the anchor rig must regularly replace the coarse and fine fuel filter elements, and always check whether the fuel pump and the fuel injection nozzle are leaking or damaged. If the fuel pump and fuel injection nozzle are leaking or damaged, they should be repaired in time.


Ⅵ. The oil of the anchor rig should be changed regularly


Failure to change the engine oil within the prescribed time or improper selection of engine oil will aggravate the wear of engine parts, adversely affect the performance and life of the engine, and increase engine oil consumption. For this reason, the anchor rig should strictly follow the instructions of the operating instructions, select the same series, grade and viscosity of the same oil, and change the oil regularly according to the instructions.
