Inspection

Inspector Detail ✓ verified

Common issues

  • Compressor wheel fouling due to poor air filtration
  • Turbine blade erosion from high-temperature exhaust gases
  • Bearing failure resulting from inadequate lubrication or contamination
  • Seal wear causing oil leakage and turbocharger performance degradation
  • Incorrect turbocharger tuning leading to reduced engine efficiency
  • Carbon buildup on turbine nozzle and blades
  • Overspeed protection system malfunction

Inspection checklist

  • Visual inspection of compressor and turbine blades for damage or fouling
  • Check bearing condition and lubrication system functionality
  • Verify proper turbocharger mounting and alignment
  • Inspect oil leakage and signs of seal wear
  • Check compressor inlet and outlet pressures
  • Verify turbine inlet temperature and exhaust gas temperature
  • Check actuator and control system operation
  • Inspect air filter condition and cleanliness

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.
