Engine power range (kW)400-4400
Inspection

Inspector Detail

Common issues

  • Compressor/turbine fouling from intake air contamination or exhaust deposits
  • Bearing wear from lube oil quality issues or extended service
  • Nozzle ring erosion from high-temperature exhaust gas over extended operation
  • Sealing/labyrinth wear allowing oil migration into the gas path
  • Rotor imbalance from uneven fouling or foreign object damage on the compressor side

Inspection checklist

  • Visually inspect compressor and turbine blades for fouling, erosion, and damage
  • Check bearing clearance at scheduled overhaul
  • Verify water-washing effectiveness (compressor and, if fitted, turbine side)
  • Monitor and trend vibration on the turbocharger casing
  • Check oil supply pressure and cleanliness for lubricated cartridge types
  • Inspect casing for oil leakage past seals into the gas path

Service intervals

Compressor water-washingtypically every 100-250 running hours depending on fouling rate
Bearing/cartridge inspectiontypically every 8,000-12,000 hours or per maker's schedule for this series
Full overhaultypically every 12,000-20,000 hours - varies by frame size and fuel quality

Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.

Typical wear limits

Bearing clearancethis series covers engines from roughly 400 to 4,400 kW, so clearances vary significantly by frame size - always confirm the specific figure against the MHI service manual for the exact frame fitted

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

Critical spares

  • Bearing cartridge/bushing set
  • Nozzle ring
  • Sealing air system components
  • Balanced spare rotor assembly (recommended for larger frame sizes)

Safety

  • High-speed rotor - risk of serious damage or injury from an uncontained failure if fouling or imbalance is ignored
  • Hot turbine casing surfaces
  • Water-washing system operates under pressure

Class survey

Turbocharger overhaul and washing records are typically reviewed as part of the driven engine's Continuous Machinery Survey; class expects evidence that the maker's recommended overhaul interval is being followed, or a condition-based justification for any extension.

Estimated lifetime: MET-series turbochargers are typically designed for bearing/cartridge overhaul intervals in the 8,000-12,000 hour range, with the rotor and casing structure expected to last through several overhaul cycles given proper washing and lubrication practice

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.
