The Russian Scientific Research Institute of Railroad Transportation, an internationally acclaimed research facility, completed the testing. The study was initiated to determine the improved component wear and function characteristics of TVT 24-7 (formerly NRGZ 24-7) when added to different lubricants used by the Russian railroads, and also studied these characteristics when used with different paired metals.
The conclusion of the report states, "Based on positive results of laboratory tests, we approve the diesel oil M14B2 comprising 7% of the metal conditioner TVT 24-7 lubrication for trials on full-scale diesel engines."
The Institute's report also contains observations concerning startling reductions in wear characteristics of certain metals. For example, the report states that TVT 24-7 at 7% additive reduces wear of cast iron and alloy A020-1 by one order of magnitude (90%), does not influence the wear of nitride steel, and cuts the wear of bronze by several hundred percent.
Other tests indicate that as little as 3% TVT 24-7 when added to lubricating oil significantly reduced the operating temperatures of the oil by 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
Having inherited a massive operating infrastructure, the Russian Railway is an extensive organization, spanning eleven time zones and containing almost as much railroad tracks than the rest of the world combined. The Russian Railway has indicated that it plans to begin full-scale diesel engine tests.
"We believe that the positive results obtained by The Russian Scientific Research Institute of Railroad Transportation will move us closer to a long-term lubricant supplier relationship with the railroads, and put us on the fast track with other state and private sector organizations in the CIS," remarked Tony Vanetik, CEO of NRG Resources, Inc.
