    The document is a service letter from MAN Diesel & Turbo informing owners and operators that the intermediate inspection of crankshaft torsional vibration dampers on certain MAN diesel engines can be omitted. The inspection has been removed from the planned maintenance program to save dismantling and inspection work. The service life of vibration dampers is typically 48,000 to 54,000 running hours, at which point replacement is required. Unfavorable operating conditions can reduce the service life or cause failure before expected limits. Indications of a failing damper include abnormal noise or vibration changes, requiring replacement.

    Service Letter SL2017-654/JNN

    Action code: WHEN CONVENIENT

    Crankshaft Torsional
    Dear Sirs and Mesdames Vibration Damper
    Service experience has proven that the intermediate inspection of the
    torsional vibration damper on the crankshaft of our mentioned GenSets SL2017-654/JNN
    can be omitted without compromising a reliable engine operation. This November 2017
    applies to both for new engines and to engines in service.
    Concerns
    Consequently, we have deleted the intermediate inspection from our Owners and operators of
    planned maintenance programme (510-04.00), thus saving related dis- MAN four-stroke diesel engines.
    mantling and inspection work. Type:
    Marine: L16/24, L21/31, L27/38
    The lifetime of the vibration damper is in the range of 48,000 to 54,000 Stationary: L16/24S, L21/31S, L27/38S
    running hours, after which it must be replaced. Propulsion: L21/31, L27/38

    During operation the damper is subjected to stresses which inevitably


    lead to wear and tear on the torsional vibration damper.

    Unfavorable operating conditions such as:


    - engine over-speed
    - shocks caused by hydraulic locks in engine cylinders
    - water in the lube oil
    - reduced lube oil supply
    - contaminated lube oil leading to carbon built up internal the damper
    by the centrifugal forces
    will reduce the service life of the torsional vibration damper and may
    lead to failure before reaching the mentioned operation limits.

    Indications of a failing torsional vibration damper could be abnormal


    noise from the torsional vibration damper or any change in the vibra-
    tion behavior of the complete GenSet. In such a case, the complete
    torsional vibration damper must be replaced.
