KamAZ and ZIL-130: higher compression and fuel savings instead of overhaul

Compression in the cylinders rose, most in the most worn one, fuel consumption decreased. 3.7–10.8 % — compression in the ZIL-130 cylinders, 6.5–8.9 → 7.2–9.5 kgf/cm²; gain in 3 of 4 readings; the rest unchanged; 11.5–13.5 % — fuel consumption of both trucks, 100 ml burned in 45 → 52 and 100 → 113 s (1999).

ZIL-130 — compression by cylinder

CYLINDERBEFORE, kgf/cm²AFTER, kgf/cm²GAIN

Cylinder 38.99.5+0.6 · +6.7 %
Cylinder 48.68.6no change
Cylinder 66.57.2+0.7 · +10.8 %

Compression is capped by the engine's rated value, so the largest gain came from the most worn cylinder: 6.5 → 7.2 kgf/cm².

Fuel consumption and oil pressure — both trucks

Fuel consumption is inverse to the time taken to burn the control portion: the longer it lasts, the more economical the engine.

Conclusion of the plant commission

The engines were treated without disassembly, on trucks that kept hauling cargo: during the observation period the KamAZ covered 2,357 km and the ZIL-130 3,887 km. Before the treatment the ZIL-130 held an oil pressure of 1 kgf/cm², and its weakest cylinder delivered 6.5 kgf/cm²; after the treatment both figures rose, and rose more where the wear was greater — the restored tightness of the cylinder-piston group is what produced the fuel savings on both trucks. The commission of the motor transport shop recorded in the act: “The results obtained show that it is expedient to apply XADO technology for restoring the cylinder-piston group, plain bearings, the crankshaft and other friction pairs instead of a conventional engine overhaul”.

Limits of this report: The results refer to the engines of the KamAZ dump truck and the ZIL-130 of the motor transport shop of STIROL Concern OJSC; on other equipment and under other operating conditions the figures may differ. RVS is an obsolete XADO designation, the zero-generation formulations; the current product generation is revitalizants.

XADO Pilot Testing Programme

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.
