Summer is coming, have you encountered the "three highs" of excavators?

Post by DIG-DOG »

The water tank temperature is too high
The water tank temperature is too high, commonly known as "boiling". "Boiling" affects the normal heat dissipation of the engine, and then causes the high temperature expansion and deformation of the parts in the engine, such as the piston and piston ring expansion and jamming due to heat. At the same time, high temperature aggravates the oxidation of the engine oil and accelerates the wear of moving parts. To prevent "boiling", experienced drivers have their own tricks. Some people modify the water tank, some add air cooling, and some simply remove the hood of the water tank.
In fact, without destroying the beauty, the correct use of antifreeze can effectively avoid boiling. Antifreeze has two characteristics: low freezing point and high boiling point. Therefore, it can not only ensure the normal operation of the vehicle system in winter, but also prevent the cooling water from boiling in summer. The anti-rust and anti-corrosion functions of antifreeze can also slow down the aging of the entire cooling system, and the anti-scale function can prevent scale from clogging the circulation pipe.
Hydraulic oil temperature is too high
When the hydraulic oil temperature is too high, the viscosity, lubricity and wear resistance of the oil will decrease significantly, which will not only increase leakage, but also destroy the oil film of each sliding part, aggravating the wear of hydraulic components. Therefore, hydraulic oil with slightly higher viscosity should be selected in summer. The normal temperature of hydraulic oil is between 30℃-55℃. When the hydraulic oil temperature continues to increase, each hydraulic component expands according to different coefficients, and may also cause a stuck fault. At that time, it is inevitable to shut down for maintenance. Prevention of high temperature of hydraulic oil depends entirely on daily inspection and maintenance, such as regular dust removal and cleaning of the radiator to maintain heat dissipation performance.
Grease temperature is too high
When the grease temperature is too high, the grease will become soft, the adhesion performance will be reduced, and it will be easy to lose. At this time, the working device and the rotary device will cause various "moths" such as high temperature, wear, and noise due to poor lubrication. The main reason for grease failure is the shrinkage of gel and the evaporation loss of base oil. High temperature is the culprit for increased evaporation of grease, oxidation and deterioration, and severe condensation and oil separation. Therefore, in summer, you must choose grease with good high-temperature performance, which should not only maintain adhesion performance at higher temperatures, but also ensure a slow failure process.

In summer, the vegetation is lush and the insects and birds are active. It is hard to guarantee that there will not be flying insects that take risks and enter the car, it is hard to guarantee that there will not be catkins and fluff adsorbed to the water tank, and it is hard to guarantee that there will not be dead branches and rotten leaves stuffed into the radiator. These are all hidden dangers that cause high temperature of the engine, high temperature deterioration of hydraulic oil, and poor air conditioning cooling. Moreover, some "old" excavators have damaged or fallen hoods and sponges at the water tank and radiator, resulting in abnormal air suction of the fan, which may cause poor heat dissipation.
