By the time of the measurement the treatment had been carried out in two incomplete stages — the result was obtained on an unfinished cycle.

Report conclusion

Compressor VP 10/9 was treated by XADO technology without teardown and without stopping production — directly under regular service conditions. After 160 hours of operation the current draw fell from 110.8 A to 101 A. The report notes separately that by that moment the treatment had gone through two incomplete stages: the figure was taken on an unfinished cycle. The wording of the report, verbatim: «The result obtained gives grounds to speak of an electricity saving of at least 9.8 A». For a continuous-duty compressor unit this is a direct cost item: the reduction holds on the running machine, without taking the equipment out for repair and without replacing parts.

The results refer to the reciprocating two-stage compressor VP 10/9 of the stated installation; with other equipment and a different load pattern the figures may differ. The treatment was performed by Vlad-Khado (Vladikavkaz) — the same company drew up and certified the report. The original report with signatures and seal is published in full and available for download.
