Exhaust gas / charge airMedium

The TPS-D employs a sophisticated design to optimize exhaust gas and charge air handling in four-stroke diesel engines, thereby enhancing engine performance and efficiency. This device is part of Accelleron's TPS family, tailored specifically for integration with four-stroke engines. The TPS-D does not specify a particular turbine type, focusing instead on seamless compatibility with various engine models. Common issues encountered with the TPS-D include fouling of the compressor wheel and diffuser, oil seal leakage, bearing wear, and turbine blade erosion. Regular maintenance, particularly for bearing and seal kits, is crucial to prevent these failures. It is imperative to verify the exact frame size before ordering spare parts, as TPS variants are customized for specific engine models. Maintenance and service should strictly follow the guidelines set forth by Accelleron and the relevant classification society. Annual inspections during class surveys are mandatory to ensure continued operational reliability.

Common failures & inspection points

Inspection

Inspector Detail ✓ verified

Common issues

  • Fouling of compressor wheel and diffuser, leading to reduced efficiency and surging.
  • Oil seal leakage (labyrinth seals), resulting in oil carry-over into exhaust or air side.
  • Bearing wear (journal and thrust bearings), indicated by excessive axial/radial play or vibration.
  • Turbine blade erosion and/or corrosion, especially with poor fuel quality or high exhaust gas temperatures.
  • Cracks in turbine casing or nozzle ring due to thermal stress.
  • Exhaust gas leakage from casing joints or flange connections.
  • Vibration due to rotor imbalance or bearing deterioration.

Inspection checklist

  • Check for oil leaks around bearing casing, compressor, and turbine sides.
  • Inspect compressor wheel for fouling, foreign object damage (FOD), and blade integrity (visual/borescope).
  • Inspect turbine blades and nozzle ring for erosion, cracks, and deposits (visual/borescope if accessible).
  • Check axial and radial bearing play (if covers are removed, use dial gauge; otherwise, check for excessive 'rocking' by hand).
  • Inspect exhaust gas inlet and outlet flanges for signs of leakage (soot marks).
  • Verify cooling water connections for leaks and proper flow.
  • Check air filter condition and ensure silencer is clear.
  • Monitor turbocharger speed, exhaust gas temperatures (before/after turbine), and boost pressure against engine load.
  • Listen for unusual noises (whining, grinding, rubbing) during operation.

Service intervals

Minor Inspection/Bearing Check8,000 - 12,000 running hours or annually
Major Overhaul (Rotor removal, cleaning, inspection)16,000 - 24,000 running hours
Bearing Replacement8,000 - 12,000 running hours
Rotor BalancingDuring major overhaul or if excessive vibration is detected

Typical wear limits

Axial Bearing Play (new)0.15 - 0.30 mm
Axial Bearing Play (max allowed)0.60 - 0.80 mm
Radial Bearing Play (new)0.05 - 0.12 mm
Radial Bearing Play (max allowed)0.20 - 0.30 mm
Turbine Blade ErosionNo cracks, no more than 10-15% reduction in blade thickness (consult manual for specific limits).
Compressor WheelNo cracks, no significant bending of blades, no deep scoring or foreign object damage.
Oil ConsumptionMonitor for excessive consumption (e.g., >0.5 L/24h for a single unit), indicating seal wear.

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

Critical spares

  • Complete bearing cartridge (journal and thrust bearings)
  • Oil seal rings (labyrinth seals)
  • Gasket sets for casing, flanges, and connections
  • O-rings for cooling water and oil lines
  • Compressor wheel nut
  • Air filter elements
  • Nozzle ring (if operating conditions are harsh or prone to fouling)

Safety

  • Hot surfaces: Exhaust gas casing and turbine housing operate at very high temperatures (300-600°C) – severe burn hazard.
  • High-speed rotating parts: Rotor operates at speeds up to 50,000-70,000 RPM – extreme injury risk if covers are removed during operation.
  • High-pressure exhaust gas: Potential for blow-outs from faulty gaskets or cracked casings.
  • Noise levels: High noise output requires hearing protection in the vicinity.
  • Risk of component failure: Blade detachment or rotor burst can cause significant damage and injury.

Class survey

Class surveyors typically verify maintenance records (logbooks, service reports, spare parts inventory). They conduct a visual inspection for external leaks (oil, exhaust gas, cooling water), check for excessive vibration, and confirm the general condition and cleanliness of the unit. If the turbocharger has been opened for maintenance, the surveyor will verify the condition of internal components (bearings, rotor, casings) and proper reassembly, often requiring witness of bearing play measurements.

Estimated lifetime: 24,000 - 36,000 running hours before major overhaul/refurbishment of core components (rotor, casings), with proper intermediate maintenance.

Replacement Parts

Spare parts notes

Maintain bearing and seal kits; verify exact frame size before ordering because TPS variants are engine-specific.

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.
