IE A061TECHNICAL REPORT No. 2 · JSC KRYM

PB-28 compressor: higher discharge pressure without dismantling the unit

Outlet pressure rose, operating noise decreased, oil loss stopped. 12.5 % — compressor discharge pressure, 4.0 → 4.5 atm (2003).

What the report records

The PB-28 compressor was treated in three stages on 19–21 August 2003, without dismantling the unit. Already after the first stage the report notes that “the suction vacuum and the discharge pressure of the compressor increased noticeably” and that the noise of the running unit decreased; by the third stage the discharge pressure had risen from 4.0 to 4.5 atm, and the oil level stopped falling. The parties then verified the result directly: “After 32 hours of operation of the unit with the oil in the crankcase into which the revitalizant gel had been introduced, on the initiative of the ‘Customer’ and under the guarantees of the ‘Contractor’, an experiment was carried out — STARTING THE COMPRESSOR WITH NO OIL IN THE SYSTEM. The treated compressor ran for 2 minutes. The results of the experiment clearly demonstrated the effectiveness of XADO technology.”

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.
