Common failures & inspection points

Seawater cooling system strainer clogging and raw water pump impeller failure

Inspect strainers weekly in dirty water operations; replace impeller annually per maintenance schedule

Turbocharger fouling from sodium/vanadium compounds (V2O5 deposits) and carbon/ash buildup, especially at low-load operation

Inspect turbine blade condition visually; measure boost pressure performance curves; check exhaust gas temperature signature

Fuel injector needle valve and seat wear causing poor atomization, fuel dribbling, carbon trumpet formation, and nozzle hole blockage

Monitor fuel injection timing via CAN interface; inspect injector spray pattern at full load; check return fuel temperature and volume

Exhaust valve carbon/ash deposits (vanadium pentoxide V2O5 + sulfate compounds) reducing valve seat sealing and thermal transfer

Monitor exhaust valve temperature via thermocouples; inspect valve seat color and surface finish during major overhaul; adjust fuel treatment additives

Cylinder liner wear from poor piston-liner alignment or abrasive particulate contamination, especially at mid-stroke regions

Perform borescope inspection at 500-1000 hour intervals; measure liner wear with gauge; inspect oil analysis for Si/Fe particulates and viscosity trends
