    MAN Diesel: Service Letter

    Uploaded by

    PrinceSadhotra
    MAN Diesel has seen failures of water mist catchers caused by loose fixing bolts, broken frames, and loose lamellas. A loose or broken water mist catcher can allow water carry-over, contributing to cylinder liner scuffing. Inspecting the water mist catchers regularly for cracks and correct mounting, such as during each port inspection, is recommended to prevent this issue. Checks can be made by removing access covers located on the side of the scavenge air cooler housing.

    Service Letter SL07-484/TJJ


    October 2007

    Cylinder Condition
    Damaged Water Mist Catchers
    Action code: WHEN CONVENIENT

    Dear sirs

    Recently, we have seen a number of failures of water mist catchers. The failures
    appear to have been caused by loose fixing bolts and, consequently, broken frames,
    loose lamellas, etc. A loose or broken water mist catcher may contribute to scuffing of
    the cylinder liners due to inefficient operation (water carry-over).

    A broken bolt or a loose mounting may cause an upstream gap at the bottom of the
    water mist catcher elements. Air on the upstream side will short-circuit the element
    and cause water running down through the element to be sprayed downstream out
    through the water mist catcher.

    The water spray from the broken water mist catcher may be thrown into the cylinder
    units, which can lead to scuffing.

    We recommend that the crew members on board the vessels inspect the water mist
    catchers for cracks in the frame and correct mounting on a regular basis, e.g. at every
    port inspection.

    On most engine types, inspections can be carried out from the scavenge air receiver
    through the non-return valves (the flaps), and the suspension bolts can be checked by
    removing the access covers in front of the water mist catcher. The covers are located
    on the side of the scavenge air cooler housing.
