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 bearings or seals
  • Compressor surge and stall due to incorrect turbocharger sizing or operation
  • Turbine nozzle ring damage from thermal stress or foreign object impact
  • Vibration and noise from unbalanced or loose 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 components
  • Inspect air filtration system for cleanliness and effectiveness
  • Check turbine inlet and outlet temperatures for signs of overheating
  • Monitor turbocharger vibration and noise levels during operation
  • Verify proper functioning of turbocharger control systems
  • Check for signs of water or moisture ingress into turbocharger components
  • Inspect turbocharger mounting and foundation for signs of damage or looseness

Service intervals

routine_maintenanceevery 2000-4000 hours
major_overhaulevery 20000-40000 hours
bearing_replacementevery 10000-20000 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_blades10-20% of original blade height
turbine_blades5-10% of original blade height
bearings0.1-0.5 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 wheel and blades
  • Bearing sets and seals
  • Nozzle ring and turbine housing
  • Control system components (e.g. actuators, sensors)
  • Oil pumps and filters
  • Air filtration system components

Safety

  • High-temperature exhaust gases and potential fire hazard
  • Rotating components and potential entanglement hazard
  • High-pressure oil systems and potential leakage or spray hazard
  • Electrical control systems and potential shock hazard
  • Compressor surge and potential damage to surrounding equipment

Class survey

Class surveyor typically checks turbocharger performance, vibration, and noise levels, as well as verifies proper maintenance and repair records

Estimated lifetime: 40000-60000 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.
