| Routine visual inspection (noise, vibration, leaks, parameters) | Daily/Weekly |
|---|---|
| Compressor water wash (as required, depending on operating conditions) | 2,000 - 4,000 hours |
| Bearing inspection and replacement (plain bearings) | 8,000 - 12,000 hours |
| Major overhaul (rotor cleaning, balancing, nozzle ring/diffuser inspection, full bearing replacement) | 16,000 - 24,000 hours |
| Comprehensive overhaul (potential replacement of major components like turbine/compressor wheels, shaft, casings as required) | 32,000 - 48,000 hours |
| Rotor Axial Play | New: 0.15 - 0.25 mm. Max Wear Limit: +0.15 mm over new (e.g., 0.30 - 0.40 mm total). |
|---|---|
| Rotor Radial Play | New: 0.20 - 0.35 mm. Max Wear Limit: +0.15 mm over new (e.g., 0.35 - 0.50 mm total). |
| Compressor/Turbine Blade Tip Clearance | Manufacturer specific; typically increases by 0.1-0.2 mm before requiring attention. Visual inspection for rubbing marks. |
| Bearing Shell Thickness | Visual inspection for scoring, material loss, or excessive ovality. Replace if wear exceeds manufacturer's specified limits or if surface damage is evident. |
| Nozzle Ring Gap | Visual inspection for erosion, damage, or deformation affecting gas flow and efficiency. Replace if gaps are excessive or damage is significant. |
Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.
Class surveyors typically verify the following: 1. Maintenance Records: Thorough review of logbooks and maintenance reports, especially for bearing replacements, rotor cleaning, and major overhauls. 2. General Condition: External cleanliness, absence of oil, exhaust gas, or charge air leaks from casings and connections. 3. Security: Confirmation of secure mounting to the engine and foundation, and integrity of all pipe connections. 4. Insulation: Integrity of thermal insulation on the exhaust gas side to prevent hot spots and fire hazards. 5. Safety Devices: Functionality of any integrated safety devices, such as overspeed trip mechanisms (if applicable). 6. Operational Parameters: Observation of turbocharger performance parameters (boost pressure, exhaust temperatures, turbocharger speed) during engine running to ensure satisfactory operation. 7. Visual Inspection: If inspection covers are opened, a visual check of the compressor and turbine sides for excessive fouling, erosion, or foreign object damage.
Estimated lifetime: 60,000 - 80,000 hours for main casings and rotor shaft, assuming strict adherence to maintenance schedules, quality spare parts, and regular component replacements (bearings, seals, etc.).
