IE C005TREATMENT REPORT ON A MUNICIPAL FLEET BUS · ISRAEL, 2005

MAN city bus: worn diesel regained compression, no teardown

Compression rose in all cylinders, the spread between them nearly disappeared, engine operation evened out. 7.7–25 % — compression by cylinder, 22–26 → 27.5–28 bar (2005).

Baseline measurement taken 09.01.2005, control measurement 01.03.2005, 13 days after the third stage. All six cylinders reached 27.5–28 bar.

What this means

The engine came to treatment with 412 213 km on the clock and sagging compression: the weakest, fourth cylinder held 22 bar against 26 bar in the strongest. A spread of 4 bar is a sign of a worn cylinder-piston group: the engine runs unevenly and loses power. The three treatment stages took ten days, and the bus stayed on its route throughout — between the first and the last stage it covered 810 km. The control measurement gave 27.5–28 bar across all six cylinders: the weakest gained 5.5 bar, and the spread narrowed to 0.5 bar. Even compression means the sealing of the cylinder-piston group has been restored, and it cannot rise above the factory nominal: bringing every cylinder to one level is the maximum achievable. Obtained without dismantling the engine, on a vehicle in normal service.

About this result: Compression

Limits of this report: The results apply to the diesel engine of a MAN - 202 bus with over 412 000 km of mileage; on other equipment and with a different condition of the components the figures may differ. The treatment was carried out and the result reported by the XADO representative in Israel — O.D.A.X LTD.

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.
