Improving the efficiency of the use of energy resources in agricultural transportation at low temperatures

One of the important technical problems that need to be solved and arise in small farms of the agro-industrial complex during the operation of energy facilities in the winter period is their inability to work in low temperatures. This issue is relevant for the Amur region, since due to the large extent of the territory, there are significant temperature differences between the northern and southern regions. Therefore, often a car with a load, leaving the southern regions with a temperature close to zero degrees, as it moves along the route to the north during the working shift, may be in areas with temperatures up to -45...50 degrees Celsius. This can lead to a decrease in pumpability, power system failures and stopping of vehicles on the route due to an increase in fuel viscosity. Therefore, the issue of adapting the fuel system is important in the transport support of the region. The article presents the results of research on the adaptation of cars to winter operating conditions due to the installation of a fuel filter heating system and a low-pressure pump of a diesel engine.
