There are many factors that determine the fuel consumption of excavators, such as driving habits, working conditions, working mode of equipment, etc. With the continuous increase of oil prices, energy conservation and environmental protection have become increasingly important. How can excavators be fuel-efficient, environmentally friendly and efficient? This article will summarize three methods to reduce the oil consumption of excavator besides the two methods mentioned in the previous article.
1. reduce engine speed
Set the engine throttle to the economy gear position, and reducing the engine speed will affect the workload. However, it can greatly reduce the fuel consumption and improve the fuel consumption efficiency.
2. the rotation angle is less than 60 °
During the loading operation of the excavator, the rotation angle of the excavator must not exceed 60 degrees, and the range of 30 degrees to 45 degrees is appropriate. The smaller the angle, the faster the rotation, the higher the output, and the less the fuel consumption.
3. insufficient tire pressure increases fuel consumption
Research shows that the correct use of radial tires can save up to 10% of fuel consumption. Among them, tire pressure has the most significant impact on fuel efficiency. When the tire pressure is insufficient, the running resistance of the excavator will increase, the fuel consumption will increase, and the production will decrease due to the unstable movement of the equipment.
