Winter internal combustion forklift maintenance
Posted: Nov 3rd, '24, 22:25
Under low temperature conditions in winter, the fuel viscosity of forklift truck increases and is not conducive to the atomization and combustion of fuel, the poor flow of lubricating oil increases the resistance of the moving parts, coupled with the influence of factors such as the reduction of the working capacity of the battery, which can easily lead to the difficulty of starting the engine, the wear of the parts, the reduction of power, the increase of fuel consumption and the decrease of power performance.
In order to ensure that all kinds of construction machinery can be safely put into use under cold conditions, daily maintenance of forklift should be done, and it is best to install a low-temperature auxiliary starting system.
1. Four common low temperature starting methods of forklift trucks
a. Add cold starting fluid
b, flame preheating start
c, circulating water heating system (also known as fuel heater heating system)
d, other preheating methods
The use of hot water preheating method (hot water to the boiling point of the hot water injection cooling system) steam preheating method (the upper steam through the pipe from the water tank into the cooling system, or directly into the engine cooling water jacket), electric preheating method (the heater directly inserted into the cooling system or oil, this method has high thermal efficiency, is more convenient to use) and other methods for low temperature start.
2, forklift winter daily maintenance
A. When starting the diesel engine in winter, the fuel system should be replaced by seasonal maintenance first. Under normal circumstances, the freezing point of the diesel used should be lower than the seasonal minimum temperature of 3-5 ° C to ensure that the minimum temperature will not affect the use of solidification.
In general, in the south of the Yangtze River in winter optional 0# light diesel; In the area south of the Great Wall and the area south of Gongjiang in severe winter, -20# light diesel oil is selected; In the northeast, northwest and border areas of severe winter should choose -35# light diesel.
b, check and maintain the connection of the battery, starting motor, generator and line.
c, check the atomization and fuel supply time of the fuel injector, overhaul the turbocharger, fuel tank and fuel pipeline, clean the air filter frequently, discharge the water and sediment in the fuel tank in time, properly reduce to the replacement cycle of the air filter and fuel filter, and overhaul the oil pump and crank connecting rod mechanism when necessary to ensure the normal operation of the lubricating oil road. d, replace the lubricating oil suitable for the working environment, shorten the replacement cycle of the oil filter.
e. Replace the qualified antifreeze that is compatible with the ambient temperature, and check the working condition of the thermostat and water pump.
f, low temperature operation, should be appropriate to reduce the working intensity of the machine.
