Measurements before and after the restorative repair

PARAMETER	BEFORE REPAIR, 08.12.2000	AFTER, 400 h OF OPERATION
Time to build working pressure from 0 to 8 atm	1 min 36 s	1 min 00 s
Compressor output by filling of the 3 m³ receiver	100 %	160 %

Output was determined from the time to fill the 3 m³ receiver to 8 atm; the standard instruments and sensors of the compressor unit were used for the measurements.

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, so the effect holds on a working machine, not only in the first hours after treatment. 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.

The results relate to the piston compressor 2VM 4-24/9 M-1 of the boiler and compressor section of JSC Ukrelektromash and to the duty of filling a 3 m³ receiver to 8 atm; on other equipment and in other duties the figures may differ.
