oil loss into the receiver, 1 l → 200 ml per shift

EQUIPMENT	CONDITION AT THE START OF THE TRIAL	WHAT WAS MEASURED
KT6-U2 compressor	Increased noise in operation; oil escaped into the receiver; working pressure was reached in 2 min 28 s	Time to reach working pressure, oil loss into the receiver

KT6-U2 compressor — measurements before and after treatment

PARAMETER	BEFORE TREATMENT · 25.04.2007	AFTER TREATMENT · 27.06.2007
Time to reach working pressure	2 min 28 s	1 min 53 s
Oil loss into the receiver	1 l per shift	200 ml per shift

The report states the pressure result as a 24 % gain in output — measured by the reduction in time; converted to output this is 31 %.

Committee conclusion

Before the treatment the committee recorded a worn unit: increased noise in operation, oil escaping into the receiver, working pressure reached in 2 min 28 s. The revitalizant gel was introduced with the compressor running, without disassembly of components. After two months of operation the pressure was reached in 1 min 53 s, and oil loss into the receiver fell from 1 l to 200 ml per shift. The committee of the Kungur branch of WSRC "Permskie Mashzavody" and the representative of the XADO concern recorded in the report: "The compressor treatment demonstrated the high effectiveness of XADO products. In order to extend the compressor service life, further improve its parameters and save lubricants and electric power, it is advisable to use XADO compressor oil".

The results relate to the KT6-U2 compressor of the Kungur branch of WSRC "Permskie Mashzavody" and to its operating conditions; on other units and duty cycles the figures may differ. The treatment was performed by a representative of the XADO concern. The original report dated 27.06.2007 with signatures and stamps is published in full and available for download.
