Tips for reducing engine wear on construction machinery

Online consultation

The owners and operators of construction machinery deal with the equipment all year round, and the equipment is their "brother"! Therefore, it is our duty to provide good protection for the "brother". 

As the heart of construction machinery, the engine is inevitably subject to wear during use, but some wear can be avoided through scientific verification.

The cylinder is the main wear part of the engine. Excessive wear of the cylinder will cause a significant decrease in the power of the equipment, increase the fuel consumption of the equipment, and affect the

 lubrication effect of the entire system of the engine. Even the engine needs to be overhauled after excessive wear of the cylinder, which is expensive and the owner suffers economic losses.

So you must know these tips to reduce engine wear!

1. The temperature is low in winter. After starting the engine, you should preheat it for 1-2 minutes to allow the lubricating oil to reach all lubrication points. Start the engine after all parts are fully lubricated. Be careful not to increase the speed and start the engine when it is cold. Accelerating the engine speed at the beginning will increase the dry friction between the cylinder and the piston, and increase the wear of the cylinder. Do not idle for too long, as it will cause carbon deposits in the cylinder and increase the wear of the inner wall of the cylinder hole.

2. Another major reason for the engine warming up is that when the car is parked for a long time, 90% of the oil in the engine flows back to the oil shell at the bottom of the engine, and only a small amount of oil remains in the oil channel. Therefore, after ignition, the upper part of the engine is in a state of lack of lubrication. The engine will not be able to run for 30 seconds before the oil pump is running to pressurize the oil to the various parts of the engine that need lubrication.

3. During operation, the engine coolant should be kept at a normal temperature of 80-96°C. Too low or too high a temperature will damage the cylinder.

4. Strengthen maintenance, clean the air filter in time, and do not drive with the air filter removed. This is mainly to prevent dust particles from entering the cylinder with the air and causing wear on the inner wall of the cylinder hole.

   

The engine is the heart of construction machinery. Only by protecting the heart can your equipment provide better services. Pay attention to the above issues and adopt scientific and effective methods to reduce engine wear, extend engine life, and make the equipment provide you with greater value.
