Inspector checklist

Laufzeug & Tribologie
  • Zylinderlaufbuchsen: 900 mm, Hub-Bohrungs-Verhältnis 3.62, Ultraschall bei jedem Docking
  • Kolbenringe: Extrem lange Umfänge
  • Kreuzkopf: Extreme Kolbenmasse, Temperatur
Nockenwellen-Steuerung
  • Nockenwelle: Verschleiß bei 900 mm hohe Nockenbelastung
  • Kraftstoffpumpen: Maximale Einspritzmengen
  • Auslassventil: Größte Ventilmasse
  • Nockenkasten: Öl
Brennstoffsystem
  • Einspritzventile: Höchster Durchsatz
  • Purifier-Redundanz
Dichtungssysteme
  • Stopfbuchsen: Größte Kolbenstange
  • Auslassventil: Stellite, Rotocap
  • Spülluftkasten: Drainage
Fundamentrahmen
  • Kurbelwellen-Deflexion: Bei 900 mm regelmäßig, verschiedene Tiefgänge
  • Grundlager: Maximale Lagergrößen
  • Torsionsschwingungsdämpfer: Bei 5 Zylindern kritisch

Common Failure Modes

  • Liner-Rissbildung

    Symptoms: Kühlwasserverlust

    Causes: 900 mm maximale Fläche, Thermischer Stress

    Preventive: Kühlwasserchemie pH 9.0-9.5, Ultraschall.

  • Kreuzkopf-Lagerschaden

    Symptoms: Temperatur, Metalldetektor

    Causes: Extreme Kolbenmasse, Slow-Steaming

    Preventive: Temperatur tägliche Auswertung.

  • Torsionsschwingungen

    Symptoms: Vibrationen

    Causes: 5 Zylinder bei 900 mm

    Preventive: Torsionsschwingungsdämpfer alle 4-5 Jahre.

Expert tips

  • 5 × 900 mm MC-C: Sehr seltene Konfiguration — Torsionsschwingungen und Zündfolge-Optimierung besonders beachten
  • MC-C bei 900 mm: ME-Retrofit wäre technisch möglich, aber bei 5 Zylindern Wirtschaftlichkeit prüfen
  • Thermische Trägheit enorm — 30+ Minuten Aufwärmzeit einplanen

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 — send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
