What water is added to the excavator water tank? Comprehensive analysis and operation guide
In the field of engineering machinery, the daily maintenance of excavators is crucial, and the choice of water replenishment of water tanks directly affects the performance and life of equipment. Recently, "what water is added to the excavator water tank" has become a hot topic, triggering industry discussion. This article combines the hot content of the entire network for nearly 10 days and provides detailed answers to you through structured data.
1. Common misunderstandings about adding water to the excavator water tank
Many users believe that tap water or regular mineral water can meet the needs, but in fact, wrong choices can lead to tank corrosion, scale accumulation and even engine overheating. The following is a summary of misunderstandings that netizens have discussed recently:
| Types of misunderstandings | Percentage (wide network data) | Potential risks |
|---|---|---|
| Add tap water directly | 42% | Mineral deposition, corrosion of metal parts |
| Use regular mineral water | 33% | Unstable pH, accelerated aging |
| Mix different antifreezes | 18% | Chemical reaction blocks the pipeline |
| Not replaced for a long time | 7% | Cooling efficiency decreases by more than 50% |
2. Professional recommendation: Excavator water tank water supply standard
According to the official manuals of brands such as CAT, Komatsu and other brands and recent industry reports, the water use of water tanks must meet the following conditions:
| Water quality type | Applicable scenarios | Technical requirements | Replacement cycle |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soften water | Daily use | Calcium magnesium ions ≤50mg/L | Every 500 hours |
| Ethylene glycol antifreeze | Low temperature environment | Freezing point -35℃~-50℃ | Every 2000 hours |
| Distilled water | Emergency supplement | Conductivity ≤10μS/cm | Need to be replaced as soon as possible |
3. Latest hot cases in 2023
1.Inner Mongolia mining area incident: A company caused 20 excavators' water tanks to be blocked collectively due to accidentally adding hard water, and the maintenance cost exceeded 800,000 yuan, which attracted widespread attention to water quality testing.
2.Popular Douyin videos: #Antifree solution purchasing challenge The number of views of the topic exceeded 100 million, among which the "color identification method" (green is organic acid type and red is inorganic salt type) has been confirmed by experts to have limitations.
4. Operation guide: Four steps to correct water addition
1.Empty the residue: Open the valve at the bottom of the water tank and thoroughly rinse the old liquid.
2.Select a compliant product: Accept antifreeze or ASTM D3306 certification from GB 29743-2013.
3.Proportional allocation: It is recommended to mix antifreeze and softened water 1:1 (adjustable to 7:3 in extremely cold areas).
4.Regular testing: Use a refractometer to monitor the freezing point. If the deviation exceeds 5℃, it must be replaced immediately.
