How This Calculator Works
This tool estimates fuel or energy consumption, cost, and CO₂ emissions for various rotary drill models based on operating hours and fuel type.
Fuel Calculation Formula:
Fuel/Energy Used = Operating Hours × Consumption Rate (liters or kWh per hour)
CO₂ Emissions = Fuel/Energy Used × Emission Factor
Emission Factors:
- Diesel: 2.68 kg CO₂/liter
- Electric: 0 kg CO₂/kWh (assuming renewable source)
About Rotary Drills
Rotary drills are powerful machines used for surface mining, quarrying, and foundation drilling. They operate by rotating a drill bit into rock, soil, or other materials to create boreholes for blasting or structural foundations.
- Small Rotary Drill: Best for light foundation drilling and smaller boreholes.
- Medium Rotary Drill: Used in commercial and industrial drilling operations.
- Large Rotary Drill: Suitable for mining, quarrying, and deep foundation projects.
- Electric Rotary Drill: Sustainable option with reduced noise and emissions.
Fuel-Saving Tips:
- Ensure proper drill bit selection to reduce resistance and energy use.
- Maintain hydraulic systems for better fuel efficiency.
- Plan drilling operations to minimize idle time.
- Consider electric rotary drills for eco-friendly operations.
