Keep your turbocharger in peak condition

The Wärtsilä Turbo standby cleaner helps keep your turbocharger and engine in peak condition. Thanks to the cleaner, you can wash the turbocharger turbine side when the engine isn’t running. This makes it easier for you, and saves you money and time.

The Wärtsilä Turbo standby cleaner also saves the environment. Because the engine doesn’t need to run during the cleaning process, no emissions, detectable smoke or particles are released into the environment.

The Wärtsilä Turbo standby cleaner is quick and easy to use. The typical pre-set washing time is only two hours.

Who is it for?

The Wärtsilä Turbo standby cleaner is ideal for cruise vessels, ferries, and power plants operating in environmentally sensitive areas.

It is compatible with large and medium bore Wärtsilä 4-stroke engines including the Wärtsilä 32, Wärtsilä 34, Wärtsilä 38, Wärtsilä 46, Wärtsilä 46F and Wärtsilä 50.

Five powerful benefits

Wärtsilä Turbo standby cleaner gives you five powerful benefits.

Improves reliability

The Wärtsilä Turbo standby cleaner keeps your turbocharger turbine side clean – especially the nozzle ring. This helps keep your engine in peak condition, improving its reliability.


Saves money

When your engine is in peak condition it will consume less fuel oil, saving you money. You can also extend the turbocharger washing interval from 100 to 400–500 running hours, bringing further savings.


Lowers emissions

Because the Wärtsilä Turbo standby cleaner can be used while the engine is not running, no emissions, detectable smoke or particles are released into the environment during cleaning.

The Wärtsilä Turbo standby cleaner is also safe to use when working in environmentally sensitive areas, for example areas which are vital to the long-term maintenance of natural resources.


Extends lifetime of hot parts

Thanks to the reduced impact of heat shocks during the cleaning process, the turbocharger’s hot parts have a longer lifetime.


Saves time

The Wärtsilä Turbo standby cleaner is quick and easy to use. A typical wash cycle can take as little as two hours. The cycle time can be easily adjusted using the mobile unit’s integrated touchscreen. 

How does the Wärtsilä Turbo standby cleaner work?

The Wärtsilä turbocharger cleaner washes the turbocharger with a fine mist of water created inside the turbocharger. This helps to prevent the exhaust gas pipes and components from corroding.

The Wärtsilä Turbo standby cleaner is quick and easy to set up. The system is ready to use as soon as the hoses and turbocharger-specific washing nozzles are connected on the engine and the mobile wash unit is connected via a supply cable.

A typical wash cycle can take as little as two hours. The cycle time can be easily adjusted using the mobile unit’s integrated touchscreen.
