Why do excavators emit these three kinds of smoke?

White smoke, blue smoke and black smoke are common faults of excavators. The following is a simple troubleshooting of the specific causes of the three smoke colors.


White smoke

1, Most of the white smoke caused by the cylinder into the water, please check whether there is water inside the diesel, generally start after a short period of white smoke, the engine is not a problem.

2, If the excavator start white smoke, oil is not reduced, excavator work is also powerless, that the engine cylinder mattress damage.

3, Poor atomization of the injector, cylinder pressure is too low is also one of the reasons for the engine white smoke, calibrate the injector.


Blue smoke

Blue smoke when starting cold: blue smoke when cold, disappear after warming up is normal, because there will be a small part of the engine oil invasion engine combustion chamber after shutdown.

Blue smoke continuously after starting:

1, The diesel filter is blocked, check whether the oil type is correct.

2, The engine piston ring and valve oil seal wear, resulting in oil into or exhaust pipe, resulting in excavator blue smoke failure.

3, The piston and the cylinder liner with too much clearance caused by blue smoke.

4, The oil is mixed with diesel, blue smoke is a feature of burning oil.


Black smoke

Black smoke is the external manifestation of inadequate combustion of fuel in the cylinder. Should start from three aspects.

1, Not enough air intake: check whether the intake valve clearance is within a reasonable range, valve clearance is not equal will cause insufficient intake pressure and volume; air filter is not blocked. Damage to the supercharger, resulting in insufficient intake pressure.

2, Poor quality of diesel fuel, diesel pumps and injectors wear.

3, Injector wear: too much fuel injection, resulting in inadequate combustion. You need to ask the service personnel to conduct an engine disconnection experiment to check whether it is due to injector wear. If you encounter the situation of smoke from excavator, you can simply check and deal with it according to the above mentioned, and contact professionals to deal with it.
