"Fuel Consumption Optimization" for Second-hand Rotary Drilling RIGS: 6 Tips for Operation And Maintenance

Due to the long service life of second-hand rotary drilling RIGS, the performance of some components may decline, and fuel consumption is more likely to increase, which will directly increase construction costs. Optimizing fuel consumption not only reduces fuel costs but also lessens the load on equipment and extends its service life, which is of great significance for improving the economic efficiency of construction.

1. Standardize the operation rhythm: Avoid frequent starting and stopping of the engine. After starting, wait for the engine speed to stabilize before commencing work. When drilling, maintain a constant speed and do not blindly increase the throttle to prevent fuel waste due to excessive operation and reduce equipment impact wear at the same time.

2. Reasonable matching of working conditions: Select appropriate drill bits and drilling parameters based on the construction geology (such as soft soil, rock layers) to avoid situations like "a big horse pulling a small cart" or "a small horse pulling a big cart", ensuring that the engine always operates within the high-efficiency fuel consumption range.

3. Regularly clean the filter elements: Clean the air filter element and fuel filter element every half a month to one month. Replace the filter elements in time if they are damaged. A clogged filter element can lead to insufficient air intake in the engine, incomplete fuel filtration, increased fuel consumption and damage to the engine.

4. Check the fuel system: Regularly inspect the fuel lines for leaks and whether the joints are loose. Repair any problems found promptly. At the same time, keep the fuel tank clean to prevent impurities from mixing into the fuel and affecting combustion efficiency.

5. Maintain the lubrication system: Replace the engine oil and oil filter element at the prescribed intervals to ensure good engine lubrication and reduce internal friction losses. Regularly check whether each lubrication point is short of oil and replenish the special lubricating oil in time to reduce mechanical resistance.

6. Control fuel consumption when idle: When the equipment is not in operation for more than 10 minutes, turn off the engine in time to avoid prolonged idling and fuel consumption. If you are waiting for a short period of time, you can adjust the engine speed to the lowest stable idle speed to reduce fuel consumption.

In conclusion, optimizing the fuel consumption of second-hand rotary drilling RIGS is not a difficult task. As long as one masters the standardized operation methods and scientific maintenance skills, fuel consumption can be effectively reduced. This not only helps construction enterprises save costs, but also enhances the operational efficiency and reliability of equipment, providing strong support for the smooth progress of the project.
