Common failures & inspection points
Fuel Rail Pressure Too High causing violent firing at start; fuel control failure
Verify fuel rail pressure within spec; check power supply and wiring to fuel control
Injection Nozzle Wear from normal operation causing irregular combustion
Inspect nozzle tips at ~8,000–10,000 operating hours; replace spare kit per schedule
Lubricating Oil Contamination: water and solids reduce bearing protection; dry sump circulation critical
Verify centrifugal separator bypass operation; monitor oil condition via sampling; check crankcase drain integrity
Ammonia Combustion Instability (X72DF-A-1.0): low flame speed, high activation energy, misfiring risk, N2O/NH3 emissions
Monitor cylinder pressure diagrams; verify pilot fuel injection timing/quantity; track exhaust temps and emission compliance
Scavenge Air Cooler Fouling in dust-laden trades; efficiency loss and thermal stress
Install filtration for dust-prone routes; schedule periodic cooler inspection and cleaning; monitor scavenge air temperature trend
