The water well drilling rig DTH hammer cuts energy use significantly.
-
High energy efficiency:
Converts 60-70%
energy,
vs. 30-40%
for hydraulic hammers.
Saves 20-30%
power.
-
Low fuel use: Small rigs with low-pressure hammers use 1.2L/m. Same-power rotary rigs need 1.8L/m.
-
Deep well savings: Air loss under 20% in 150m wells. Stable impact avoids energy spikes with depth.
A 50-well project saved over 3,000L diesel.
The water well drilling rig pairs well with variable-frequency compressors for more cuts.
