With the continuous development of the construction machinery industry, reducing fuel consumption has become a key issue for improving enterprise efficiency and meeting environmental requirements. As a critical equipment in civil engineering and foundation reinforcement, the fuel consumption of anchor drilling rigs directly impacts construction costs and environment. The fuel consumption of anchor drilling rigs can be effectively reduced from the aspects of operation habits, equipment maintenance and construction methods.
1. Proper Use of the Idle Function in Anchoring Drills
During the operation of anchoring drills, prolonged idling can lead to fuel waste and additional engine wear. Therefore, operators should avoid letting the drill idle for extended periods when not in use. In case of short stops, depending on the situation, it may be advisable to turn off the engine or run it at low RPMs to minimize unnecessary fuel consumption.
2. Reasonable Selection of Drill Tools and Construction Methods
The choice of drill tools and construction methods significantly affects the working efficiency and fuel consumption of anchoring drills. Adjusting the rotation speed and pressure of the power head according to the geological conditions can effectively prevent overload-induced locking. Overloading not only causes the hydraulic oil temperature to rise rapidly but also increases the power consumption of the equipment, leading to fuel wastage. Operators should appropriately reduce the pressure based on the site conditions, reverse the power head, or lift the drill rod as needed to prevent jamming, thereby avoiding additional fuel consumption.
3. Proper Throttle Control
Many operators tend to set the throttle to the maximum position when drilling, thinking it will improve work efficiency. However, extensive testing has shown that under the same drilling conditions, using a lower throttle setting reduces fuel consumption and extends equipment lifespan. Operators should control the throttle setting based on actual needs to achieve fuel efficiency.
4. Keep the Air Filter Clean
The cleanliness of the air filter significantly impacts engine performance. A dirty filter increases air circulation resistance, leading to incomplete combustion of the fuel mixture, resulting in decreased engine power and increased fuel consumption. Maintenance should involve cleaning the filter element using compressed air, pressurized water, or a cleaning agent, ensuring it is completely dry before reinstallation. Keeping the filter clean improves engine efficiency and reduces fuel consumption.
5. Regular Maintenance of the Fuel System
Proper maintenance of the fuel system is crucial for the fuel efficiency of anchoring drills. If the fuel filter is ineffective, impurities in the diesel fuel may enter the fuel injection pump, leading to accelerated wear of precision components, reducing engine power, and increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, water and gum in the fuel can enter the cylinder, causing poor combustion of the fuel mixture, further increasing fuel consumption. Regular replacement of the fuel filter elements and frequent inspection of the fuel pump and injectors for leaks or damage are essential for reducing fuel consumption.
6. Regular Oil Changes
Oil plays a crucial role in lubricating engine components and reducing wear. Failure to change the oil on time or using improper oil can accelerate engine wear, negatively affecting engine performance and lifespan while increasing oil consumption. To ensure optimal engine operation, anchoring drills should strictly follow the user manual's recommendations for oil selection and adhere to the prescribed oil change intervals.
Reducing the fuel consumption of anchoring drills not only lowers construction costs but also mitigates environmental impact. By adopting proper operational habits, regular equipment maintenance, and scientific construction methods, companies can achieve energy savings and emissions reductions while maintaining high construction quality.
