Mothballing the turbocharger
Taking the engine out of operation for up to
12 months
10.1
State of the engine lubricating oil
The turbocharger normally remains attached to the engine. The measures
to be taken for mothballing the turbocharger depend on the state of the
lubricating oil:
If the acid number (TAN) is less than 2 mg KOH/g, no measures need
to be taken.
If the engine lubricating oil is replaced with a preservative oil and
circulated with the pre-lubrication pump before the engine is taken out
of operation, no measures need to be taken either. Residues of old
engine oil are flushed away in this way and the bearing parts are
largely protected against corrosion.
Preparations for mothballing
WARNING
Handling operating materials and supplies
Swallowing or inhaling vapours of operating materials and supplies or
contact with them may be harmful to health.
Do not breathe in these substances and avoid contact with the skin.
Ensure proper ventilation.
Observe the information in the material safety data sheet for the
operating materials and supplies.
Comply with local legislation.
Wear safety goggles.
Wear safety gloves against mechanical risks.
Wear a respiratory mask to protect against gases.
If the acid number (TAN) is greater than 2 mg KOH/g, the following
mothballing measures are necessary after taking the engine out of
operation:
Dismantle the turbocharger
