Inspection

Inspector Detail

Common issues

  • Air/oil separator element fouling causing oil carryover into the air system
  • Intake air filter fouling reducing volumetric efficiency
  • Cooling water fouling or scaling reducing cooling efficiency and raising discharge temperature
  • Rotor/bearing wear over extended running hours
  • Shaft seal leakage
  • Safety/relief valve seat leakage or sticking
  • Moisture drain/trap fouling or failure leading to water carryover downstream
  • Drive coupling or belt wear affecting alignment

Inspection checklist

  • Check discharge air temperature and pressure against baseline
  • Inspect and replace the air intake filter per condition
  • Check the air/oil separator differential pressure
  • Test the safety/relief valve for correct lift pressure and reseating
  • Check cooling water flow and inspect for scaling/fouling
  • Verify automatic drain/trap function
  • Check compressor oil level and condition, changing per schedule
  • Inspect drive coupling/belt condition and alignment
  • Function-test high-temperature and low-oil-pressure shutdowns
  • Check for abnormal noise or vibration indicating bearing wear

Service intervals

Compressor oil changetypically every 2,000-4,000 hours or per oil analysis - confirm against TMC's schedule and oil specification
Air/oil separator element changetypically every 2,000-4,000 hours or on differential pressure indication
Intake air filter changetypically every 500-1,000 hours, more frequently in dusty or salty environments
Safety/relief valve function testtypically annually or per class requirement
Cooling water side cleaningtypically annually or on a rising discharge-temperature trend
Automatic drain/trap inspectiontypically every 3-6 months

Typical wear limits

Oil carryover in discharge airflag the separator element for renewal once carryover exceeds roughly 3-5 ppm, or on differential pressure rather than a fixed running-hour figure - confirm against TMC's guidance
Discharge air temperatureflag for investigation once running temperature is more than roughly 10-15 degC above the commissioning baseline at comparable ambient and load conditions
Shaft seal leakageany visible continuous oil weep at the shaft seal is not normal and should prompt seal renewal at the next opportunity rather than being run to a specific limit

Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.

Critical spares

  • Air/oil separator element
  • Intake air filter element
  • Shaft seal kit
  • Safety/relief valve
  • Automatic drain valve
  • Drive coupling/belt as fitted

Safety

  • Stored compressed air energy - isolate and vent before opening any part of the system
  • Hot discharge air and piping surfaces
  • The safety/relief valve must never be gagged or have its setpoint altered without proper authority
  • Rotating drive coupling/belt guards must be in place before running
  • Oil mist carryover from a failed separator is a critical risk where the compressor feeds engine-starting air

Class survey

For starting and service air compressors, class will check safety/relief valve test records, verify capacity against the vessel's starting air requirement, and check the pressure vessel (air receiver) survey status where it is part of the same system.

Estimated lifetime: Marine screw air compressors of this type are typically cited with a major overhaul (rotor/bearing work) at somewhere in the 20,000-30,000 hour range, with the package commonly remaining in service for 15-20+ years given proper maintenance - confirm against TMC's own service data.

Free of charge — send us your request for Tamrotor Marine Compressors (TMC) equipment. Our team checks it and replies by e-mail.

Makers and authorised dealers rarely quote marine equipment without the vessel. With these details we can check availability and prices faster; without them we may have to ask first, which can cost a few days. If you cannot share the vessel, a photo of the equipment’s rating plate does the same job — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
