In red clay regions, water well drilling rig power systems face major challenges.
Optimization can significantly enhance drill performance:
- Upgrade power units to high-power, stable-torque engines/motors.
- Overcome red clay resistance to ensure efficient bit rotation.
- Example: Replace low-power motors with high-power variable-frequency ones to adjust speed/torque flexibly.
- Optimize power transmission for impact mechanisms.
- Use efficient drives to reduce energy loss in power transfer.
- Enable impact hammers to gain stronger force for breaking red clay.

- Install rational heat dissipation devices for power systems.
- Prevent overheating from prolonged operation in red clay areas.
- Maintain optimal working temperatures to avoid performance degradation.
Power system optimization helps water well drilling rig adapt to complex red clay geology, improving operation efficiency and stability.
