Mode of operation
The turbocharger is a turbomachine and consists of the following main components:
¡Turbine
¡Compressor.
The exhaust gases of the internal combustion engine flow through the turbine casing(11)
and the nozzle ring(10) onto the turbine(08). The turbine(08) uses the energy contained in
the exhaust gas to drive the rotor and thus the compressor wheel(14). The exhaust gases
then reach the atmosphere through the exhaust gas pipe connected to the gas outlet cas-
ing(07).
The compressor wheel(14) sucks in fresh air through the air suction branch (01). In the com-
pressor wheel(14), the energy required for building up the pressure is transferred to the air.
By flowing through the diffuser(03) and the compressor casing(02), the air is compressed
further and is then directed to the engine cylinders.
The rotor runs in two radial plain bearings(06), which are located in the bearing casing(04)
between the compressor and turbine. The axial thrust bearing(05) is located between the
two radial plain bearings.
The plain bearings are connected to a central lubricating oil duct which is normally supplied
by the lubricating oil circuit of the engine. The oil outlet always lies at the deepest point of
the bearing casing(04).
Function of the compressor wheel cooling
Fig.3: Compressor wheel cooling
Depending on the application of an A100 radial turbocharger, the turbocharger is equipped
with compressor wheel cooling. With compressor wheel cooling, after the compressor air
has cooled down by passing through the charge air cooler on the engine side, it is supplied
to the turbocharger for cooling the compressor wheel. Cooling of the compressor wheel is
compulsory to ensure the reliability and replacement intervals for the relevant operating
conditions. In the turbocharger version with compressor wheel cooling, the cooling air is
supplied through a lateral connection in the bearing casing(X).
In addition, the turbocharger version with compressor wheel cooling is indicated by the tur-
bocharger type (H6..) on the rating plate.

2 Safety / 2.5 Intended use
© Copyright 2021 ABB. All rights reserved. HZTL4030_EN Rev.G July 2021
2.5 Intended use
Use on internal combustion engines in general
ABB turbochargers are intended for charging internal combustion engines.
To ensure compliance with the machinery directive 2006/42/EC when using on gas engines,
the turbocharger must be operated in an engine room classified as "not at risk of explosion".
This is in accordance with the position paper [2] relating to ATEX issued by EUROMOT[1].
For use on pre-mix gas engines with ignitable propellents in the gas control system, the en-
ginebuilder must implement appropriate safety measures for explosion protection [3] (such
as flame barriers in the inlet system, for example) to assure that there is no transient pres-
sure increase exceeding a maximum of 12 bar before the turbocharger in case of a deflagra-
tion.
The turbocharger supplies the engine with the air volume or air/gas mixture and the associ-
ated charging pressure required for operation.
The turbocharger is solely intended to be operated with a clockwise direction of rotation as
viewed from the turbine end.
The specific operating limits of the turbocharger were determined on the basis of informa-
tion from the enginebuilder about the intended use. These data are given on the rating
plate.
The use of the turbocharger is limited to the specific application released at the time of de-
livery.
ABB accepts no liability and rejects all warranty claims for any non-intended uses.
WARNING
Unapproved operation
Any operation of the turbocharger outside of its operating limits can be haz-
ardous to personnel.
uOnly operate the turbocharger within the operating limits.
uOnly trained personnel must operate the turbocharger.
The intended use of the turbocharger includes compliance with all regulations and condi-
tions. In particular, the following must be observed:
¡Operation Manual
¡Instructions of the enginebuilder
State of the art
The turbocharger is designed and manufactured according to the state of the art and is safe
to operate.

2 Safety / 2.6 Deflagration on gas engines
© Copyright 2021 ABB. All rights reserved. HZTL4030_EN Rev.G July 2021
Perfect condition
The turbocharger must only be used when it is in a technically flawless condition and oper-
ated in compliance with its intended use.
ABB excludes any liability for damage resulting from unauthorized modifications to the tur-
bocharger or improper operation.
2.6 Deflagration on gas engines
ABB turbochargers can tolerate a deflagration with a transient pressure increase of 12bar.
After a deflagration event ABB recommends verifying the following points on the turbochar-
ger:
¡Position of the turbine and compressor casings to the bearing casing
¡Shifting of the bearing casing in relation to the bracket
¡Cracks in casings
If during external inspection anomalies are found or if a particularly strong deflagration
event has taken place, it is also recommended to check the bearings of the turbochargers
before the next start. An ABB Turbocharging Service Station should be instructed to carry
out this inspection.
2.7 Periodic check of the pressure vessels
The pressure vessels used by ABB Turbocharging, such as those for wet or dry cleaning, are
so-called "simple pressure vessels".
¡The locally applicable legal regulations regarding periodic checks of the pressure vessels
must be observed.
¡The operating company is responsible for the safe operation of the pressure vessel.
WARNING
Danger due to pressure vessels
The operating company must make sure the pressure vessels are in proper
working condition and monitor them. Necessary repair or maintenance work
must be performed promptly, and the required safety measures must be
taken.
uPressure equipment must not be operated if defects are present.

Explanations regarding the rating plate
The recommended inspection and replacement intervals and the corresponding operating
limits are jointly defined with the enginebuilder. This information is specific to the system.
Operation above the indicated values nBmax, tBmax can considerably shorten the recommended
replacement intervals. In such cases, we recommend contacting the nearest ABB Turbochar-
ging Service Station.
nMmax, tMmax normally apply only when running at overload (110%) during trials on the engine
test bed. These limit values can also be permitted during operation for special applications.
Operation above nMmax and tMmax is not permitted.
Non-observance of the recommended inspection and replacement intervals increases the
risk of unpredictable component failures.
For operating limits, refer to the Operation Manual title page or the rating plate on the tur-
bocharger.
Locations of the rating plates
