Common failures & inspection points

Turbocharger failure risk due to oil supply disruption or fouling (industry-wide for medium-speed diesel >90% of all turbo failures oil-related)

Monitor turbocharger oil pressure/oil flow, check oil filter cleanliness, inspect feed oil lines for blockage

Piston ring wear and pressure loss due to scavenge space fouling (general large engines with scavenge ports)

Carry out regular scavenge space inspections through inspection ports; check piston rings for wear/fracture; inspect cylinder liner for acid corrosion (cloverleaf pattern)

Valve stem corrosion and premature valve failure due to inferior fuel oils (documented in older 46-series engines, cause: acidic combustion by-products

Monitor fuel oil quality (TAN, water, contamination per ISO 8217); inspect exhaust valves during overhaul for stem corrosion; check valve seats for wear/damage

Piston caking and ignition disturbances in gas mode (Dual-Fuel 46TS-DF specific during LNG operation with high-electronic injection possible)

Perform combustion profile diagnosis through pressure pickup; monitor gas composition (CH₄, CO₂, N₂); check injection nozzle position deviations

Bearing wear and stern alignment problems during variable operation (46TS-SG typical during rapid load variations for grid regulation)

Continuously monitor main bearing temperature (>65°C alarm signal); check coupling angular deviation (max. 0.2 mm per 100 mm length); regularly analyse lubricant samples
