| Compressor/Turbine Water Washing | Every 250-500 running hours, or as indicated by performance degradation. |
|---|---|
| Compressor Dry Cleaning (if applicable) | Every 1,000-2,000 running hours. |
| Bearing Inspection/Replacement | 12,000 - 16,000 running hours (depending on bearing type and condition monitoring). |
| Minor Overhaul (inspection of rotor, bearings, seals, nozzle ring) | 16,000 - 24,000 running hours. |
| Major Overhaul (complete disassembly, inspection, replacement of worn parts, balancing) | 32,000 - 48,000 running hours. |
Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.
| Axial Rotor Clearance | New: 0.15 - 0.30 mm. Wear Limit: +0.10 to +0.15 mm over new, or as per manufacturer's manual (e.g., 0.40 - 0.45 mm max). |
|---|---|
| Radial Rotor Clearance | New: 0.10 - 0.20 mm. Wear Limit: +0.05 to +0.10 mm over new, or as per manufacturer's manual (e.g., 0.25 - 0.30 mm max). |
| Bearing Surface Condition | No scoring, pitting, excessive discoloration, or material loss. Any visible damage warrants replacement. |
| Turbine/Compressor Blade Erosion/Fouling | Visual assessment; significant material loss (e.g., >10% chord length) or heavy, unremovable fouling affecting performance is unacceptable. |
| Casing Cracks | Any visible crack in pressure-retaining or structural components is unacceptable and requires repair or replacement. |
Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.
A class surveyor will typically review the vessel's Planned Maintenance System (PMS) records for the turbocharger, including records of bearing inspections, overhauls, cleaning, and overspeed trip tests. They will physically inspect the turbocharger for external signs of leakage (oil, exhaust gas), excessive vibration, and general condition. Performance logs (boost pressure, RPM, exhaust temperatures) will be checked for consistency and deviations. The availability of critical spare parts onboard will be verified. Compliance with SOLAS requirements regarding exhaust gas containment and fire safety will also be assessed.
Estimated lifetime: 32,000 - 48,000 hours before major overhaul, with proper maintenance and component replacement, the unit can exceed 100,000 hours total operational life.
