After using the excavator for a period of time, most people pay close attention to the engine heat dissipation. The water cooling system of the excavator may cause the engine to overheat. One of the biggest reasons for overheating is excessive scale in water tank and engine. It causes poor heat dissipation and rising water temperature. In order to avoid excessive scale and debris accumulated in the water tank from affecting the normal heat dissipation of the equipment, it is necessary to clean the excavator water tank regularly. The correct choice of cleaning methods is crucial. If the method is improper, the machine will be damaged. This article will explain how to clean the water tank of the excavator for reference only.
First, drain the coolant from the radiator and engine block. Then close the drain plug and add tap water and detergent to the radiator.
Next, start the engine and run it at a speed slightly higher than the low idle speed. When the pointer of the thermometer reaches the green area, continue to run the engine for about ten minutes.
Finally, shut down the engine and open the drain plug. Flush the cooling system with tap water until the discharged water is clean.
In addition, more attention should be paid to the equipment with engine overheating caused by high water temperature. After the water tank is cleaned, the water temperature of the equipment is still high. You can also check the screen near the radiator of the excavator. Due to the different working environment of the excavator, there may be dust or catkins adsorbed on the radiator filter screen, causing the excavator water temperature to rise and the engine to overheat.
