Operating medium: Heavy fuel and distillate fuel
Maintenance:
Cleaning of the turbocharger every 300 h
Note:
Particulary if the engine is running on the heavy fuel, deposits will form on the turbine
blades decreasing the charger efficiency and increasing the bearing loads by unbalance.
These deposits must be removed by injecting freshwater (without addition of detergents or
solvents). The washing intervals depend on the fuel quality and the operating conditions,
and they can only be fixed by experience in operation.
It must always be prevented that water enters the exhaust manifold between the washing
operations. For this reason, the hose piece (1) is to be removed after washing.
Sequence of operations:
1. Cleaning
1.1 Connect the cleaning pipe (2) with the
water supply (detachable hose clip (1)
with stop valve [3]).
1.2 Reduce the engine output to 20 % load
and exhaust gas temperature at the
cylinder outlets to 280 - 300 °C.
1.3 Open corner valve (4) and stop valve (3)
and adjust water pressure on pressure
gage (5) to
1.2 - 1.5 bar.
Washing duration: 5 minutes
