6.3 Expected replacement intervals
Rotating components
The recommended replacement intervals of the compressor and turbine wheels are spe-
cified with the aid of the safety concept for rotating parts (SIKO) and dependent on the op-
erating conditions. These intervals are shown on the rating plate of the turbocharger.
Non-rotating components
Depending on the system-specific operating conditions, a differentiation must be made
between the intervals to be expected for:
¡ replacing the bearing parts and
¡ replacing the non-rotating components exposed to hot gas.
A decisive role is played by various influencing parameters which, in extreme cases, can sig-
nificantly reduce the replacement interval of these parts.
During the prescribed periodic service work, the individual parts are examined for wear and
replaced if necessary.
