Possible Causes of Smoke When Starting a Water Well Drilling Rig
Smoking when starting a water well Drilling Rig is a common phenomenon, but it is necessary to determine the cause based on the color, density, and duration of the smoke. Here are some possible reasons:

1. Incomplete Combustion of Fuel:
Cause: Poor fuel quality, clogged fuel injector, incorrect fuel injection advance angle, etc.
Manifestation: Usually emits black or gray smoke, may be accompanied by insufficient engine power.
Treatment: Check the fuel system, replace the fuel, clean or replace the fuel injector, and adjust the fuel injection advance angle.
2. Oil Entering the Combustion Chamber:
Cause: Worn piston rings, aging valve oil seals, damaged cylinder gaskets, etc.
Manifestation: Usually emits blue smoke, may be accompanied by excessive engine oil consumption.
Treatment: Check the engine and replace worn or damaged parts.
3. Coolant Leaking into the Combustion Chamber:
Cause: Cylinder head cracks, damaged cylinder gaskets, etc.
Manifestation: Usually emits white smoke, may be accompanied by reduced coolant.
Treatment: Check the engine and replace damaged parts.
4. Exhaust System Failure:
Cause: Exhaust pipe blockage, muffler damage, etc.
Manifestation: The color and density of the smoke may vary depending on the type of failure, and may be accompanied by excessive engine noise.
Treatment: Check the exhaust system, clean or replace blocked or damaged parts.
5. Other Reasons:
Cause: The running-in period of the new drilling rig, the ambient temperature is too low, etc.
Manifestation: The color and density of the smoke may be lighter, and usually disappears after the drilling rig has been running for a period of time.
Treatment: For new drilling rigs, run-in according to the instructions; for low ambient temperature, preheating can be performed.
Correct Handling Method
1. Observe the color, density, and duration of the smoke: Carefully observe the color, density, and duration of the smoke to initially determine the cause of the failure.
2. Check the drilling rig: Check all systems of the drilling rig, including the fuel system, lubrication system, cooling system, exhaust system, etc., to find possible failure points.
3. Seek professional help: If you cannot determine the cause of the failure, seek help from professional maintenance personnel in time.
4. Pay attention to safety: Pay attention to safety when inspecting and repairing the drilling rig to avoid accidents.
