Common issues

  • Compressor wheel fouling due to poor air filtration
  • Turbine blade erosion from high-temperature exhaust gases
  • Bearing wear and vibration caused by misalignment or imbalance
  • Oil leakage from turbocharger bearings or seals
  • Compressor surge and stall due to improper operation or maintenance
  • Turbine nozzle ring wear and distortion from thermal stress
  • Rotor imbalance and vibration from worn or damaged components

Inspection checklist

  • Visual inspection of compressor and turbine blades for fouling or damage
  • Check turbocharger bearings and seals for signs of wear or leakage
  • Verify proper alignment and balance of turbocharger rotor
  • Inspect air filtration system for cleanliness and effectiveness
  • Check turbine nozzle ring and blade clearances for proper tolerances
  • Monitor turbocharger performance and vibration levels during operation
  • Verify proper lubrication and cooling of turbocharger components
  • Check for signs of thermal stress or overheating on turbine components

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
