Mothballing the turbocharger
Taking the engine out of operation for up to
12 months
10.1
Condition of engine lubricating oil
The turbocharger normally remains mounted on the engine. Mothballing a
turbocharger depends on the condition of the lubricating oil:
If the total acid number (TAN) is lower than 2 mg KOH/g, no measures
have to be taken.
If the engine lubricating oil is replaced by preserving oil before taking
the engine out of operation and this is circulated by the pre-lubrication
pump, no measures have to be taken. Any remaining old engine oil will
therefore be flushed away and the bearing sections largely protected
against corrosion.
