Inspection

Inspector Detail

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 seals and gaskets
  • Carbon buildup on turbine and compressor components
  • Incorrect turbocharger tuning or calibration
  • Worn or damaged nozzle rings and turbine blades

Inspection checklist

  • Visual inspection of compressor and turbine blades for damage or fouling
  • Check turbocharger bearings for wear and vibration
  • Inspect oil seals and gaskets for signs of leakage
  • Verify proper turbocharger alignment and balancing
  • Check compressor and turbine housing for signs of overheating or damage
  • Inspect nozzle rings and turbine blades for wear or damage
  • Check turbocharger control system for proper function and calibration
  • Verify proper oil flow and pressure to turbocharger

Service intervals

major_overhaul25000 to 30000 hours
routine_maintenance1000 to 2000 hours
oil_change500 to 1000 hours

Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.

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.
