The Spring Festival has passed, but the weather is still relatively cold in the north. This article from Liqiang Machinery Company will introduce how to maintain the battery in cold weather. The battery is the component that provides power to our equipment, mainly providing power for starting the engine. This is especially important for our small rotary drilling rigs, because if our battery is damaged, we simply cannot start the rotary drilling rig, let alone carry out construction. Therefore, it is essential to maintain it properly in daily use; damage will affect our construction.#drilling kelly#
When maintaining the rotary drilling rig, check the battery terminal connections. If green oxide is found at the terminal connections, it should be rinsed off with hot water immediately and dried with compressed air. To prevent the oxide layer from reappearing, a special protective agent should be applied. In addition, the density of the battery electrolyte should be appropriately increased. Generally, the density of the electrolyte in a fully charged battery in winter is 1.28 g/cm³, which is 0.03-0.06 g/cm³ higher than the density in summer. When using a small rotary drilling rig in winter, it's essential to charge the battery regularly to prevent it from failing to start and malfunctioning.
The above information from Shandong Liqiang Rotary Drilling Rig Manufacturer outlines how to maintain the battery in winter. Furthermore, to prevent the battery from freezing due to the cold winter weather and affecting the rig's starting performance, a double-layered insulated box can be installed for the battery in winter. This helps raise the battery temperature and is also a good maintenance method.#drilling kelly#
