IE A098ACT OF JSC UKRELEKTROMASH DATED 18.01.2001

Compressor 2VM 4-24/9 M-1: time to build 8 atm fell from 1 min 36 s to 1 min 00 s

Time to reach working pressure decreased, compressor output increased and held under load. 60 % — compressor output, build-up to 8 atm: 1 min 36 s → 1 min 00 s (2001).

Conclusion of the plant commission

The commission of JSC Ukrelektromash — the deputy chief engineer, the head of the maintenance and repair shop, and the foreman of the boiler and compressor section — recorded: after the restorative repair of the compressor 2VM 4-24/9 M-1 by XADO technology® using the XADO compound, the time to build working pressure in the 3 m³ receiver fell from 1 min 36 s to 1 min 00 s. The “after” measurement was taken at 400 hours of operation. The act's conclusion verbatim: “The results obtained indicate the expediency of carrying out restorative repair by XADO technology® on all industrial equipment” of the plant. The act was approved by the plant's technical director under seal.
