Diesel engine wearing during the start up

[21121956]

Hello everybody:

For a medium speed Diesel engine, I would like to know if an equivalent exists between the wearing down that suffer at the time of the starting up and the wearing down that suffers in normal operation, i.e. one start up equals, let us say, 20 or 50 hours of operation.

Thanks in advance
