7.3.5 Prerequisites
Two different turbine cleaning devices are available for turbochargers with single-inlet tur-
bine casing:

1. Device consisting of one cleaning nozzle per turbine casing gas inlet.
2. Device consisting of six cleaning nozzles with connecting pipe for water and scavenging
air.

1
) The temperature at the turbine inlet can be up to 100°C higher than the exhaust gas tem-
perature after the cylinder. This must be taken into account when setting the operating
point before cleaning.
If necessary, the engine performance must be reduced to meet these conditions. The clean-
ing cycle can be started when the above conditions are fulfilled.
2
) External air supply for continuous blowing off of the cleaning nozzles between cleaning in-
tervals.
