Maintenance:

Compressor cleaning M 25 every 24 h

Prerequisites:

-The compressor stage must be cleaned with the engine at operating temperature and under full
load (> 85% load ), if possible; i.e., at high turbocharger rpm.

- Clean pipes from the charge air system and after each turbocharger.

NOTE
Deposits or dirt praticles inside the washing system can plug the nozzles and nega-
tively impact cleaning success.

Air side washing device operating instructions:

Basic position:

- Washing water container (3) : empty

- Cap (2) : closed

Washing procedure:

1. Remove thumb nut (1) with cap (2).

1.1 Fill washing water container (3) with clean water.

2. Open ballcock (4) for about 20 seconds until the entire water volume has been injected.

NOTE
After the air-side has been cleaned, the engine must be operated at least another 5
minutes under load.
When the compressor impeller was contaminated, the success of a cleaning can be
told by the charge air pressure after the turbocharger.

The cleaning parameters for turbocharger model KBB-HPR 6000 are as follows:

turbocharger rpm: full load – rpm ( >85% )

water excess pressure: none
diaphragm: installed
water injection time: 20 seconds
water volume : 0.5 liter

CAUTION
Because of the increased risk of corrosion, only clear water (drinking water) -
never salt water - must be used for cleaning. This water should not contain any
coolant treatments or other chemicals that may form deposits in the air ducts.

CAUTION
The injection tube must never be connected directly to a water line, a different
or larger metering container or to a larger washing water containerother than
the one provided by Caterpillar Motoren.

CAUTION
Avoid getting uncontrolled amounts of water into the turbocharger or the engine. This
can cause personal injury and major damage.

Additional details on the exhaust turbocharger may be found in the maintenance instructions in book C or
in the operator’s manual of the turbocharger manufacturer.
