An all-in-one solution for your turbochargers: MAN PrimeServ
The turbocharger in your engine works under extreme conditions: among the wear and tear parts, this one needs your attention the most. Failing to manage its maintenance properly will cause severe inefficiencies and costly downtimes. MAN PrimeServ Maintenance Kits for turbochargers help you prevent that. Discover how this solution works for you and how you maintain your turbochargers easily.
The status quo: What can go wrong, will go wrong
Murphy's Law shouldn't apply to vessel engines, but it does. Procuring spare parts is a complex problem. Timing the delivery, ordering what is needed, and keeping tabs on all of your vessel's engines is a monumental task. So it is natural to miss one little detail, extending the downtime during maintenance. For container vessels, this extra downtime results in losses of $ 82,000 per day on average. You can avoid this if you know the most common mistakes.
The two most common mistakes with turbocharger maintenance
There are common mistakes with engine maintenance and spare-part management. The two most common mistakes are incomplete orders and missed orders. Knowing these will make you aware of potential issues and thus reduce maintenance downtime.
Incomplete orders: Failing to order pairs of different spare-parts
Many customers order the sealing cover since it’s an outward-facing spare part. That is a costly mistake since the labyrinth ring is also a wear-and-tear-part. It needs to be ordered with the sealing cover and combined on site. Failing to do so may cause oil leakage since the sealing effect of the whole unit is not guaranteed.
The sealing cover and labyrinth ring always have to be ordered together.
The nozzle ring is a wear-and-tear part and needs to be exchanged eventually.
Missed orders: Failing to assess spare-part needs properly
The nozzle ring is an often overlooked spare part during maintenance jobs. However, these are wear and tear parts and need to be replaced during the overhaul between 12,000 and 18,000 HRS. That is especially true in heavy fuel operation, which causes extra strain on this part of the turbocharger. Failing to do so will cause costly issues with energy efficiency.
Your solution: Turbocharger Maintance Kits by MAN PrimeServ
There is a solution for every problem, even with Murphy’s Law. Preparing with checklists, using original spare parts, and having a global support team play their role. We have combined these strengths into one simple but powerful package: Turbocharger Maintenance Kits
One click to prepare a complete service job
Instead of manually searching for individual spare parts, you can order and prepare a complete Maintenance Kit according to each engine and its maintenance intervals. It is a fully digital solution accompanied by our experts' support.
Time and budget management made simple
Each turbocharger repair job is dependent on many processes. Ordering a spare part usually needs an official quotation, and comparing the costs of each component takes up a lot of your time. With MAN PrimeServ Maintenance Kits, you receive competitive kit pricing, which results in transparent and easy budgeting. As all spare parts come from the same source, you also ensure that all schedules are met.
It’s like a recipe for perfect maintenance
Using a Turbocharger Maintenance Kit reduces a lot of operational planning and management. QR codes, a transparent display, and standardized placements help quickly identify and process all parts. And since all parts that need to be replaced together are together, the kits reduce part diversity, saving you time and money.
