Energy-Saving Uses of DTH Hammers in Water Well Drilling Rigs

The water well drilling rig DTH hammer saves energy in these ways:

 

  1. Inverter control: The rig’s air compressor uses an inverter motor. It adjusts airflow by rock hardness—full load for hard rock, 30% slower for soft rock. Saves 20% electricity.
  2. Proper matching: Avoidbig machines for small jobs.Use 110mm hammers instead of 150mm for 100m wells. Cuts energy by 30%.
  3. Optimized operation: Avoid useless impacts. Start impacting only when the bit touches rock. Keep dry firing under 10 seconds.

A project with an inverter system cut per-well power from 800kWh to 640kWh. Бұрғылау 50 wells yearly saves 8,000 yuan. The water well drilling rig runs more efficiently.
