How to Solve the Problem of Insufficient Engine Power in a Spiral Hydraulic Piling Rig

What to do if the Engine Power of a Spiral Hydraulic Piling Rig is Insufficient? It is well known that diesel engines inevitably encounter some problems during use, especially insufficient engine power. In fact, there are many reasons for insufficient engine power, and it is necessary to check each aspect of the problem. Only by analyzing the cause of the fault in the spiral hydraulic piling rig can the fault be effectively solved. Below, I have summarized a few points for you:

Spiral Hydraulic Piling Rig Fault Analysis:

Engine power is insufficient, black smoke is emitted from the exhaust, the engine automatically shuts off under heavy load, and in another case: engine output power is insufficient, fuel is not fully burned. According to the analysis, there are two reasons affecting the insufficient engine power: air intake, exhaust, and fuel supply.

Spiral Hydraulic Piling Rig Fault Reasons:

  1. 1. The fuel does not meet conventional standards.

  2. 2. The turbocharger is damaged and cannot work;

  3. 3. The intake air quality does not meet the standard, or the intake is too little;

  4. 4. The engine's fuel injector is malfunctioning.

Spiral Hydraulic Piling Rig Fault Removal Methods:

  1. 1. Take a clean, transparent plastic bottle and fill it with diesel from the fuel tank. Let it sit for a few minutes. Upon careful observation, you can see that there are many impurities in the diesel in the bottle. The conclusion can be drawn: the fuel does not meet the standards, causing insufficient engine output power.

  2. 2. Observe the surrounding environment, mainly geological and meteorological conditions. If the surface composition is clay and there is little wind. After checking the engine air filter element, if there is not much dust and no clogging occurs, you can rule out intake problems.

  3. 3. Replace the fuel filter element and fuel. After replacing the filter element, it is necessary to eliminate air from the oil circuit and then start the engine. This way, the drill returns to normal.

  4. 4. Start the engine and let the diesel engine run idle for a while. First, observe the change in the color of the smoke: if it remains black for a long time, this indicates that the diesel is not completely burned and may contain a lot of moisture or impurities.

  5. 5. First, turn off the engine and check whether there is water in the oil-water separator. Then ask the operator whether they often discharge the accumulated water inside the oil-water separator. If the answer is yes, it can be proved that the diesel water content is low.
