Common failures & inspection points
Inspect all inlet and outlet valves for wear, contamination or damage; test seating surfaces with compressed air; check for abnormal noise or vibration during operation
Check oil pressure at all bearing points (minimum 2 bar), observe oil contamination and colour (should be clear/amber), check oil level and drain line for blockage
For air-cooled: check fan blade for contamination/corrosion, monitor cooling fins for blockages; for water-cooled: inspect pipes for scale deposits/corrosion (especially saltwater), check shaft cooling inserts for wear
Measure piston ring wear (max. clearance 0.5 mm), inspect cylinder bore for scratches/roughness (surface finish Ra<0.4 µm), check sealing rings for cracks/deformation
Test safety valves per stage with calibrated pressure gauge under load (should open at specified pressure values), compare pressure gauges with reference standard, perform leak test
