Field test success for cut-out procedure

MAN Diesel and Turbo has field tested the cut out of a TCA type turbocharger for improved slow steaming performance and concluded that the marginal fouling and oil leakages that occurred were not critical.

No signs of wear or deformation were visible on the cut-out turbocharger's journal bearings after four months of operation.
