In engineering construction in extreme cold regions, the stable operation of extreme cold region bulldozers is directly related to project progress. Extreme conditions such as low temperatures, wind and snow will bring multiple tests to the equipment. Only by understanding these challenges and mastering the solutions can extreme cold region bulldozers operate efficiently.

Challenge 1: Difficult Low - Temperature Startup, Frequent Engine "Strikes" 

In extremely cold environments, the temperature drops sharply to tens of degrees below zero. The viscosity of engine oil increases and the battery power is lost quickly. Extreme cold region bulldozers often have problems of slow startup or even failure to start, which delays the operation time. Solution: Equipping an efficient preheating system is the key. Through designs such as engine block preheating and oil circuit preheating, the viscosity of engine oil is reduced, the activity of the battery is improved, and extreme cold region bulldozers can start quickly at low temperatures.

Challenge 2: Freezing of Hydraulic System, "Stuttering" of Operation Actions

Low temperatures will cause the viscosity of hydraulic oil to increase, or even freeze. The hydraulic pipelines and hydraulic components of extreme cold region bulldozers are prone to "stuttering" due to poor flow, which affects the fluency of actions such as pushing soil and steering, and may even damage the hydraulic pump in severe cases. Solution: Use low - pour - point hydraulic oil and match it with a hydraulic system preheating device. Low - pour - point hydraulic oil can still maintain good fluidity at low temperatures, and the preheating device can preheat the hydraulic oil in advance to ensure the efficient operation of the hydraulic system of extreme cold region bulldozers.

Challenge 3: Steel Brittleness, "Discount" in Structural Strength

Extremely cold environments will increase the brittleness of ordinary steel. Key structural parts such as blades and crawlers of extreme cold region bulldozers are prone to cracks or even fractures during heavy - duty operations, posing potential safety hazards. Solution: Use cold - resistant high - strength steel to manufacture core components. This kind of steel can still maintain good toughness and strength at low temperatures, reducing the risk of failures caused by steel brittleness for extreme cold region bulldozers.

Challenge 4: Decreased Fuel Efficiency, "Weak" Power Output

Extreme cold region bulldozers need more fuel to maintain the operating temperature. At the same time, incomplete combustion at low temperatures leads to increased fuel consumption and reduced efficiency. Solution: Optimize the engine combustion and reduce energy loss. The fuel supply system of the engine is precisely controlled in terms of fuel injection quantity and timing. Anti - freezing fuel can avoid freezing at low temperatures, ensuring full combustion of fuel in extreme cold region bulldozers and maintaining stable power output.

Challenge 5: Poor Operational Comfort, Affecting Operational Continuity

In extreme cold regions, the cab temperature is low and the sealing is insufficient. Cold wind easily invades. Operators are prone to cold during long - time operations, which affects the operation accuracy and operational continuity. This is also an important problem faced by extreme cold region bulldozers. Solution: Equip a closed cab with strong warmth retention and an efficient heating system. The positive pressure cab can isolate the cold wind. The integrated air conditioning and warm air device can quickly increase the indoor temperature, providing a comfortable environment for operators of extreme cold region bulldozers.
