Common issues

  • Compressor wheel fouling due to dirty or salty air intake
  • Turbine blade erosion from high-temperature exhaust gases
  • Bearing wear and vibration caused by misalignment or imbalance
  • Overspeed protection system malfunction
  • Lubrication system contamination or oil leakage
  • Diffuser and nozzle ring wear due to high-velocity gas flow
  • Seal failure resulting in oil leakage or gas ingestion

Inspection checklist

  • Visual inspection of compressor and turbine blades for fouling or erosion
  • Check bearing vibration and temperature
  • Verify proper lubrication system function and oil quality
  • Inspect diffuser and nozzle ring for wear or damage
  • Check overspeed protection system function and settings

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.
