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 improper lubrication or misalignment
  • Overspeed trips due to faulty governor or sensor malfunctions
  • Compressor surge and stall from inadequate airflow or improper turbocharger sizing

Inspection checklist

  • Visual inspection of compressor and turbine blades for fouling or damage
  • Check bearing temperatures and vibration levels
  • Verify proper lubrication and cooling system operation
  • Inspect air filters and clean or replace as necessary
  • Check turbocharger mounting and alignment
  • Verify governor and sensor functionality
  • Monitor exhaust gas temperature and pressure
  • Check for signs of oil leakage or contamination

Service intervals

major_overhaul30000 to 40000 hours

compressor_blade_cleaning5000 to 10000 hours
turbine_blade_inspection20000 to 30000 hours

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

Typical wear limits

compressor_blades10% to 15% of original blade length
turbine_blades5% to 10% of original blade length
bearings0.1 to 0.2 mm of radial clearance

Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.

Critical spares

  • Compressor wheel and blades
  • Turbine blades and nozzle rings
  • Bearings and bearing housings
  • Seals and gaskets
  • Governor and sensor components
  • Lubrication and cooling system parts

Safety

  • High-temperature exhaust gases and potential for fire
  • Rotating machinery and entanglement hazards
  • Compressor surge and potential for equipment damage or injury

Class survey

Class surveyors typically check turbocharger performance, vibration levels, and bearing condition, as well as verify compliance with manufacturer's maintenance and inspection recommendations

Estimated lifetime: 50000 to 70000 hours

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.
