Run-in - gradual commissioning of the engine after repair. It allows bearings and assemblies to run in and identify possible defects before full load. Let's figure out how to carry it out.
Why break-in is needed
- Benchmarking of new bearings and distribution of lubricant.
- Identification of hidden assembly defects before loading.
- Control of heating and vibration in a gentle mode.
- Checking operation after rewind.
How to run in
- First start - idling for several minutes.
- Control of vibration, noise and heating.
- Gradual increase in load in steps.
- At each stage - control of current and temperature.
What to control
| Parameter | Normal |
|---|---|
| Bearing heating | Moderate, stable |
| Vibration | Minimum |
| Current phases | Uniform |
| Extraneous sounds | Absent |
If increased heating, vibration or noise appear during break-in, the engine is stopped and the cause is looked for. Correct running-in is part of a high-quality repair, completed by acceptance tests.
