IE B062TECHNICAL ACT DATED 20 AUGUST 1998

Piston compressor: higher output, vibration and overheating gone

The compressor began filling the receiver faster, vibration and overheating disappeared, noise decreased. 7.3 % — compressor output, pumping to 5.8 atm: 9 min 45 s → 9 min 05 s (1998).

Both pumping runs were measured up to the same pressure of 5.8 atm. In the conclusions of the act, the output gain and the electricity saving are stated as 9.3 %.

Conclusions of the act

The conclusions of the act dated 20 August 1998 state: “Treatment by XADO technology made it possible to reduce the compressor pumping time by 40 s., which accordingly increased its output by 9.3% (electricity saving of 9.3%). Noise dropped to a permissible level. Vibration and overheating disappeared.” Before treatment the compressor ran with considerable noise and vibration and was overheating — a unit in such condition is normally sent for repair with disassembly. Here it was neither removed nor opened up: the compound was introduced directly into the running machine, and the laundry worked as usual for ten days. According to the measurement table of the same act, receiver pumping to 5.8 atm: 9 min 45 s → 9 min 05 s, that is 7.3 % of output gain — the compressor now delivers the same amount of air in less time and on less electricity.

Application submitted by

Pilot treatment on the enterprise's equipment

  • any oil- or grease-lubricated assemblies: gearboxes, engines, compressors, bearings and others;
  • treatment within the regular operating cycle, without halting production;
  • instrumental measurements before and after: vibration, temperature, power consumption or current;
  • procedure for the specific assembly, dose calculation and support from a XADO engineer.

After the application, a XADO engineer will agree the units and the list of measurements with you.
