Damper Repair

Condition monitoring of the damper is an essential preventative maintenance practice. This ensures the torsional vibration system of the vessel, generator or pump continues to function as per the design calculations, thus preventing early life failures. The internal condition and operating efficiency of the Holset viscous damper should be monitored by extracting small samples (1cc.) of silicone fluid for laboratory analysis removal of a silicone fluid sample is a simple process which should be initially carried out after 15,000 hours of engine operation or at the first major engine service.
