Cat Fines

Surface replica services

Cylinder liner and piston ring surface check

The demand for distillate fuels continues to increase. A likely consequence of this is that
more marine residual fuels will contain cat fines. If the oil separators are not operated
properly, cat fines may be carried over into the engine. This leads to an increase in cyl-
inder liner and piston ring failures.

Therefore, MAN PrimeServ now offers a new service: Surface Analysis which is a fast
and non-destructive surface investigation method.

What will be checked? What do the results mean?

„„ Cat fines „„ Cylinder condition
„„ Graphite structure „„ Fuel quality
„„ Wear level „„ Efficiency of onboard centrifuges
„„ Cold corrosion „„ Lube oil dosage and/or its acid neutral-
„„ Scuffing ising content
„„ Micro-cracks. „„ Countermeasures against existing prob-
lems.

It is possible to choose between two analysis methods www.mandieselturbo.com
Basic Analysis: A preliminary analysis of the surfaces – gives brief information about
the cylinder liner and/or piston ring condition; e.g. whether cat fines are present, and/

or whether the graphite structure is open. The basic analysis, which is finalised faster
(Two-stroke)
than the full analysis, give a brief idea of the cylinder condition and a basis for deciding
