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 seals and gaskets
  • Compressor surge and stall from incorrect turbocharger sizing or operation
  • Turbine housing cracks from thermal stress or mechanical overload
  • Shaft seal failure from worn or damaged components

Inspection checklist

  • Visual inspection of compressor and turbine blades for damage or fouling
  • Check of bearing vibration and temperature
  • Inspection of oil seals and gaskets for signs of leakage
  • Verification of turbocharger alignment and balance
  • Check of compressor and turbine housing for cracks or damage
  • Inspection of shaft seals for wear or damage
  • Verification of correct turbocharger operation and performance
  • Check of air filtration system for cleanliness and effectiveness
  • Inspection of exhaust gas system for signs of leakage or damage

Service intervals

major_overhaul25000 to 30000 hours
bearing_replacement10000 to 15000 hours
seal_replacement5000 to 10000 hours
compressor_blade_cleaning1000 to 5000 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% to 20% of original blade height
turbine_blades5% to 10% of original blade height
bearings0.1 to 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
  • Turbine blades
  • Bearing sets
  • Shaft seals
  • Oil seals and gaskets
  • Compressor and turbine housing components

Safety

  • High-temperature exhaust gases
  • Rotating machinery hazards
  • Oil leakage and fire risk
  • Compressor surge and stall

Class survey

The class surveyor will typically check the turbocharger's performance, vibration, and temperature, as well as inspect the compressor and turbine blades, bearings, and seals for signs of wear or damage. The surveyor will also verify that the turbocharger is properly installed, aligned, and maintained, and that all safety devices and alarms are functioning correctly.

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.
