The Hazards of Insufficient Hydraulic Oil in Rotary Drilling RIGS

The normal operation of a rotary drilling rig cannot do without the efficient work of the hydraulic system, and hydraulic oil is the "blood" of the hydraulic system. When the hydraulic oil is insufficient, the operation of the equipment will face many risks. The following is a detailed analysis of the hazards caused by insufficient hydraulic oil for you.

1. Unstable system pressure: Insufficient hydraulic oil will cause the system pressure to be unable to be maintained stably, affecting the power output of the rotary drilling rig, making the drilling and lifting actions slow down, and reducing the construction efficiency.

2. Intensified component wear: Insufficient oil volume leads to inadequate lubrication of hydraulic components, increased friction between components, accelerated wear rate, shortened service life, and increased maintenance costs.

3. Abnormal increase in oil temperature: Insufficient hydraulic oil can cause the hydraulic pump to be empty, generating a large amount of heat in the system, causing the oil temperature to rise rapidly, accelerating the aging and deterioration of the hydraulic oil, and even damaging the seals.

4. Poor coordination of actions: Due to insufficient hydraulic oil, the actions of various actuating elements may become uncoordinated, such as the asynchronous rotation of drill pipes and pressurization, which affects the drilling accuracy and construction quality.

5. Air entering the system: When the hydraulic oil level is too low, air is prone to mix into the hydraulic system, causing cavitation, generating vibration and noise, and simultaneously reducing the working performance and reliability of the hydraulic system.

6. Increased risk of equipment failure: Long-term operation under insufficient hydraulic oil will cause a significant decline in the performance of the hydraulic system. Eventually, it may lead to damage of key components, trigger equipment failure, and result in downtime losses.

In conclusion, insufficient hydraulic oil can cause multiple harms to rotary drilling RIGS. It not only affects the construction progress and quality but also significantly increases the equipment maintenance cost and the risk of failure. Therefore, regularly checking the hydraulic oil level and replenishing it in a timely manner are important measures to ensure the normal operation of rotary drilling RIGS.
