Common issues

  • Compressor wheel fouling due to poor air filtration
  • Turbine blade erosion from high-temperature exhaust gases
  • Bearing wear and vibration issues caused by misalignment or imbalance
  • Overspeed trips due to faulty governor or sensor malfunctions
  • Lubrication system contamination or oil leakage
  • Diffuser and nozzle ring wear from high-velocity gas flow
  • Seal failure and oil leakage from worn or damaged shaft seals

Inspection checklist

  • Visual inspection of compressor and turbine blades for fouling or erosion
  • Check bearing temperatures and vibration levels
  • Inspect lubrication system for leaks or contamination
  • Verify proper alignment and balancing of turbocharger components
  • Check diffuser and nozzle ring for wear or damage
  • Inspect shaft seals for signs of leakage or wear
  • Verify proper function of overspeed trip and governor systems
  • Check compressor inlet and outlet pressures
  • Inspect turbine inlet and outlet temperatures

Critical spares

  • Compressor wheel and blades
  • Turbine blades and nozzle ring
  • Bearing sets and shaft seals
  • Lubrication system components (pumps, filters, etc.)
  • Governor and sensor components
  • Diffuser and nozzle ring components
  • Overspeed trip and protection system components

Safety

  • High-temperature exhaust gases and potential fire hazards
  • Rotating machinery and entanglement hazards
  • High-pressure systems and potential leakage or rupture hazards
  • Electrical shock hazards from faulty or damaged components

Class survey

Class surveyor typically checks turbocharger performance, vibration levels, and bearing temperatures, as well as inspecting for signs of wear or damage on critical components

Estimated lifetime: 40000 to 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.
