Water cleaning of turbocharger
15.3.2 Turbine cleaning procedure
The turbocharger is designed without drain pipe.
1 Record charge air pressure,
cylinder exhaust gas tem-
peratures, charger speed at nominal load, for later use to evaluate
efficiency of the cleaning.
2 Reduce engine load
corresponding to a
maximum ex-
haust gas temperature at turbine inlet < 430°C
at nominal
speed or in marine main engine installations, reduce the speed
to between 400 and 600 RPM. Run the engine for ten minutes
on this load before the washing is started.
Note!
Observe the above mentioned limits for engine speed or
exhaust gas temperature.
Note!
If the washing is started earlier than after ten minutes on stable
load as above, this may have negative consequences for the
turbocharger.
