No ke aha e hoʻopuka ai nā kaʻa diesel i ka uahi ʻeleʻele?
Aia ka manaʻo kuhihewa ma waena o nā mea hoʻokele kaʻa he "palapala" nā ʻenekini diesel a pau lākou i ka uahi ʻeleʻele. ʻOiaʻiʻo ʻaʻole ia. E nānā i kekahi kaʻa diesel i mālama maikaʻi ʻia a ʻaʻole ʻoe e ʻike i ka uahi ʻeleʻele e puka mai ana mai loko mai o ka pahu. He hōʻailona maoli kēia o ka mālama maikaʻi ʻole a me nā ʻāpana hewa, ʻaʻole ia he hōʻailona o ka puhi ʻana i ka diesel i loko a nona iho.
He aha ka uahi?
ʻO ka uahi ʻeleʻele mai kahi diesel ʻaʻole i puhi ʻia. Inā mālama pono ʻia ka ʻenekini a me nā mea ʻē aʻe, e ʻā maoli kēia mea i ka ʻenekini. No laila hiki iā ʻoe ke haʻi pololei mai ka ʻōpeʻapeʻa ʻaʻole e pau ana ka wahie i kēlā me kēia mīkini diesel e puhi ana i ka uahi ʻeleʻele e like me ka pono.
He aha ke kumu?
ʻO ke kumu nui o ka uahi ʻeleʻele mai kahi ʻenekini diesel ʻo ia ka ratio hewa o ka ea a me ka wahie. ʻOi aku ka nui o ka wahie e hoʻokomo ʻia ana i loko o ka ʻenekini, a i ʻole ka liʻiliʻi o ka ea i hoʻokomo ʻia. I kekahi hihia, ua like ka hopena. ʻO ka mea nui, uku maoli kekahi mau mea hoʻokele e hoʻololi i kā lākou kaʻa no kēia. Kapa ʻia ʻo ia he "rolling coal" a e ʻike mua ʻoe iā ia ma nā pickup diesel (me ka pipiʻi a me ka ʻai ʻole).
ʻO ke kumu ʻē aʻe o kēia pilikia ʻo ka mālama ʻana i ka injector, akā aia kekahi mau mea ʻē aʻe. Aia kēia mau mea i lalo:
- Kāpena ea i ālai ʻia a i ʻole e komo i ka ea
- Ka wahie haumia (e like me ke one a i ʻole ka paraffin)
- ʻO nā kāmeʻa hoʻohana ʻia
- ʻAʻole pololei ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ka tappet
- ʻAʻole pololei ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana i ke kaʻa
- He kānana wahie lepo/pilikia
- ʻO ka pauma wahie pōʻino
ʻO ka hope, ʻike paha ʻoe i ka uahi ʻeleʻele mai ka ʻenekini diesel no ka mea ke "kauo" nei ka mea hoʻokele. ʻO ke kumu, pili ia i ka noho lōʻihi ma kahi kiʻekiʻe. E ʻike nui ʻoe iā ia ma nā kaʻa nui ma nā alanui interstate, akā hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike iā ia ma kekahi ʻano ma nā mīkini diesel ʻē aʻe.
