↑10-30%
compressor output, receiver fill time 2 min 10 s – 6 min 15 s → 1 min 40 s – 5 min 10 s
| COMPRESSOR | RECEIVER VOLUME | CONTROL PRESSURE | WHAT WAS MEASURED |
|---|---|---|---|
| Machine No. 147 | 0.2 m³ | 8 at | Fill time, output |
| Machine No. 112 | 0.075 m³ | 11 at | Fill time, output, oil pressure |
| Machine No. 101 | 0.2 m³ | 11 at | Fill time, output |
| Machine No. 128 | 0.1 m³ | 7 at | Fill time, output |
| Machine No. 127 | 0.1 m³ | 8 at | Fill time, output |
Compressor output — measured by receiver fill time
| COMPRESSOR | BEFORE TREATMENT | AFTER TREATMENT | OUTPUT, PER THE ACT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Machine No. 147 | 3 min 25 s | 3 min 05 s | +10 % |
| Machine No. 112 | 2 min 10 s | 1 min 40 s | +24 % |
| Machine No. 101 | 8 min 30 s | 8 min 20 s | +1.5 % |
| Machine No. 128 | 6 min 15 s | 5 min 10 s | +17 % |
| Machine No. 127 | 3 min 35 s | 2 min 30 s | +30 % |
The percentages are quoted as given in the act. A receiver of known volume was filled to the control pressure; the before and after measurements were taken under normal operating conditions.
What the measurements showed
The compressors of the rope machines in shop KTs-2 were treated with XADO Gel through the cylinder-piston group directly at their workplaces: the units were neither disassembled nor taken out of service, and the before and after measurements were taken by plant personnel. Receiver fill time was reduced on every treated compressor, and according to the text of the act the output gain on four machines amounted to 10-30 %. On machine No. 112 the oil pressure rose together with the output — by 1.7 at: the restored clearances in the cylinder-piston group and the lubrication system hold pressure again. For the shop this means the same compressed air with less compressor running time — without disassembly, without stopping production and without replacing equipment.
The results relate to the compressors of the rope machines of rope shop KTs-2 at VSPKZ OJSC and to the measurement conditions stated in the act; on other equipment the figures may differ.
