2VM4-24/9S compressor: less friction in the mechanism, machine never opened

Oil heated up less with cooling switched off, pressure in the lubrication system rose. 20 % — oil temperature at 750 rpm, 60 → 48 °C; 13 % — oil temperature at 375 rpm, 46 → 40 °C; 2.2× — oil pressure at 375 rpm, 0.5 → 1.1 kgf/cm² (1999).

Measurements of the 2VM4-24/9S compressor at two operating modes

PARAMETER375 RPM, BEFORE → AFTER750 RPM, BEFORE → AFTER
Oil temperature, °C46 → 4060 → 48
Oil pressure, kgf/cm²0.5 → 1.11.5 → 1.7–1.8
Motor load current, A240 → 230260 → 260

Measurements at both modes were taken before the treatment and after 160 hours of operation, with the oil cooling system switched off.

Conclusion

The crank-and-connecting-rod mechanism of the compressor was treated through the lubrication system — the machine was neither opened nor taken off the line for this; the repeat measurements were taken after 160 hours of operation. Oil pressure rose at both modes: 0.5 → 1.1 kgf/cm² at 375 rpm and 1.5 → 1.7–1.8 kgf/cm² at 750 rpm — the restored clearances in the lubrication system hold the head again. Oil temperature meanwhile fell 46 → 40 °C and 60 → 48 °C, with the oil cooling switched off in both the first and the second measurement: the heat was reduced in the friction itself, not by the cooler. Motor load current at 375 rpm 240 → 230 A. The result was obtained on operating shop equipment and approved by the plant's chief power engineer.

Limits of this report: The results relate to the 2VM4-24/9S reciprocating compressor of Kommunar PA and to the 375 and 750 rpm modes with the oil cooling system switched off; on other machines and modes the figures may differ. XADO RVS is an obsolete XADO designation, zero-generation compounds; the current product generation is revitalizants.

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.
