    High Exhaust Gas Temperatures and Turbine Cleaning: Service Letter SL2015-597/HCL

    Uploaded by

    Gaurav Maithil
    The document discusses high exhaust gas temperatures caused by fouling of the turbine side of turbochargers in MAN four-stroke diesel engines operating on heavy fuel oil. It notes that insufficient cleaning of the turbocharger can decrease its performance over time. Fouling leads to bad turbocharger performance, lower airflow and charge air pressure, and higher exhaust temperatures. Proper and timely cleaning of the turbocharger with dry cleaning or water washing is recommended to maintain good performance, longer overhaul intervals, and specified fuel consumption.

    Due to the area-relation in matching parts, smaller turbo-


    chargers are more sensitive to coke deposits than larger
    turbochargers and, consequently, low-power engines such
    as the L16/24 or L23/30H will need more frequent turbine
    cleaning than more powerful engines.

    cleaning method for many years.

    Recent service experience based on current emission stan-


    dars reveals that the turbocharger must always be in good
    condition to obtain the expected engine performance.
