Common failures & inspection points

Gas Admission Valve (GAV) stroke sensor unreliability at sea causing unplanned diesel mode shutdown

Visual inspection of GAV sensor wiring, sensor response test at dock and sea trial, check sensor connector corrosion

Fuel gas supply pressure fluctuations under heavy sea conditions from ship-side LNG system causing engine speed oscillations

Pressure relief valve setting verification, fuel supply isolation valve function check, regulator response test under load variation

Scavenge air cooler type changes and turbocharger allocation revisions across X-engine platform requiring careful commissioning verification

Cross-check installed turbocharger serial number against commissioning document, scavenge cooler type plate vs contract specifications

Oil starvation risk on turbocharger bearing during engine startup and low-pressure transients common in all two-stroke diesels

Check lube oil supply pressure before start, inspect turbo bearing condition at overhaul, verify pre-lubrication startup sequence in manual
