Take Care of Your Intake Filters
Marine turbochargers come with mesh filters. These filter help to avoid any particles, moist oily air mixture, and debris from going inside the turbo and damaging the compressor turbine. So we recommended putting an extra felt filter over the turbo compressor, which helps to absorb any oily air mixture. Then you can simply change and clean these filters when the time comes.
Regularly Clean & Wash The Turbo
We recommend you clean turbocharger turbine and compressor sides regularly as per each makers recommendation. When you clean the turbo, you effectively remove any carbon, soot, and other exhaust deposits.
Soot Blow Daily
The performance of the turbo engine is affected if the exhaust passage after the turbocharger is in foul condition. When the turbo is in bad shape, then you are more likely to need a rebuild or repair since it may lead to surging or even breakage of turbine blades. Therefore we recommend to soot blow the exhaust gas boiler tubes on daily basis.
Check Clearances
