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 incorrect turbocharger sizing or operation
  • Turbine nozzle ring wear and distortion from thermal stresses
  • Rotor imbalance and vibration caused by 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 turbocharger alignment and balancing
  • Inspect compressor and turbine housings for signs of thermal distortion or cracking
  • Check oil supply and drainage systems for proper function and cleanliness
  • Verify correct turbocharger operation and performance using manufacturer's guidelines
  • Inspect turbocharger mounting and foundation for signs of wear or damage
  • Check compressor inlet and outlet ducting for restrictions or blockages
  • Verify proper function of turbocharger control and monitoring systems

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.
