Original Operation Manual

Operating condition and replacement intervals
The operational limits for the turbocharger nBmax, tBmax, nMmax, tMmax, inspection- and replacement intervals for the compon-
ents concerned on the rating plate are valid for the operational mode and compressor inlet condition, which has been agreed upon
between the engine builder and ABB.
Note: Replacement intervals of components depends on the load profile, turbine inlet temperature, suction air temperature and
turbocharger speed. In case the operation conditions differs significantly from what is considered to be normal for the cur-
rent application, it is recommended to contact ABB for a re-calculation of replacement intervals. Frequent load alterations,
high temperatures and high speed lower the life of components.
Unless otherwise agreed, the application limits nMmax, tMmax are valid for the test operation for a limited time.

Mode of operation
The turbocharger is a turbomachine consisting of the following main
components:
Turbine
Compressor
These are mounted on a common shaft.
Exhaust gases from the diesel or gas engine flow through the turbine
casing (10) and the nozzle ring (9) to impinge on the turbine (7).
The turbine (7) uses the energy contained in the exhaust gas to drive the
compressor wheel (13). The compressor draws in fresh air, compresses it
and then forces it into the engine's cylinders.
The exhaust gases escape into the ambient air through the exhaust gas
pipe, which is connected to the gas outlet flange (8).
The air, which is necessary for operation of the diesel or gas engine and
is compressed in the turbocharger, is drawn into the compressor wheel
(13) through the suction branch or filter silencer (1). It then passes
through the diffuser (3) and leaves the turbocharger through the outlet on
the compressor casing (2).
The rotor runs in two radial plain bearings (6), which are located in the
bearing flanges (11/12) between the compressor and the turbine. The
axial thrust bearing (5) is located between the two radial plain bearings.
The bearings are connected to a central lubricating oil duct which is
supplied by the engine's lubricating oil circuit. The oil outlet is always at
the lowest point of the bearing casing (4).

Intended use of the turbocharger
1.3
NOTICE
This turbocharger supplied by ABB Turbo Systems has been developed
for use on diesel engines to generate the volume of air and the
charging pressure required to operate the engine.
The engine builder has provided ABB Turbo Systems with information
regarding the intended use of the engine, from which the operating
limits specific to the turbocharger shown on the rating plate (such as
operating speeds, temperatures, exchange intervals / replacement
intervals) have been derived.
If it is
used
in conjunction
with a gas engine
, the engine must
not
be
installed in a potentially
explosive environment
, and precautionary
measures must be taken to ensure that the machine room as a whole is
classified as
not potentially explosive
.
Any other use will be regarded as a special application which must first
be discussed with ABB Turbo Systems. The manufacturer accepts no
liability for other applications. If it is used otherwise, ABB Turbo
Systems reserves the right to reject all warranty claims.
This turbocharger was built according to state-of-the-art technology and is
operationally safe according to recognised safety regulations.
WARNING
Improper operation and maintenance of the turbocharger can result in
danger to life and limb of the user or third parties. In addition, improper
use may cause damage to the machine.
The machine may be operated only by trained personnel.
Use of the turbocharger as intended also includes observance of the
installation / fitting, disassembly / removal, operating, maintenance /
servicing and repair conditions specified by the manufacturer. Disposal
regulations set down by local authorities must be observed.
The turbocharger may be installed only when in technically perfect
condition while observing the instructions given in the engine builder's
manual. It may be used only for the intended purpose and operated in
compliance with the operation manual.
Malfunctions which could affect safety must be eliminated
immediately.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any damage resulting from
unauthorised alterations to the turbocharger.

WARNING
Protection of health when handling VCIs
VCI products are not hazardous in the sense of the Hazardous
Substances Ordinance. Nevertheless, the following points are to be
observed when handling VCIs:
Ensure good room ventilation.
Do not eat, drink or keep food at the workplace while working with
VCIs.
Wear safety gloves.
Clean hands and face after working with VCIs.
For further information refer to www.branopac.com.
Wear safety gloves against chemical risks.
The following mothballing measures are required every 6 months:
Open the package.
Remove the VCI corrosion protection emitter from the package and
replace it with a new, identical VCI corrosion protection emitter. New
VCI corrosion protection emitters can be obtained at
www.branopac.com.
Dispose of the old VCI corrosion protection emitter in an
environmentally compatible manner, professionally and in accordance
with local regulations.

Long-term storage of replacement turbochargers or spare parts
Per order, turbochargers or cartridge groups will be prepared by ABB
Turbo Systems for prolonged storage. The package is equipped with a
hygrometer (see illustration).
The following measures are required every 6 months:
Check the hygrometer (2) in the sight-glass. There is an opening (1) in
the wooden crate which allows this check to be carried out. When the
display field has changed colour at the 70% level, the maximum
permissible humidity has been exceeded. In this case the turbocharger
or rotor must be inspected by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station
and repacked.
Inspect the package for damage. If the package is damaged, the
turbocharger or cartridge group must be inspected by an ABB
Turbocharging Service Station and repacked.
After every 3 years the following work steps must be performed by an
ABB Turbocharging Service Station:
Inspect the components.
Exchange the desiccant agent.
Repackage the components.

Replacement components ready for operation
If the 70% display field of the hygrometer (2) has not changed colour
and the package is undamaged, the replacement turbocharger or
replacement cartridge group can be placed into operation without any
prior testing by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station.
Unpacking replacement turbochargers or spare parts
The corrosion protection effect ends after the material is unpacked from
the VCI package.
To avoid the formation of condensation, the surroundings and the content
of the package must have the same temperature during unpacking.

Explanation of the rating plate
The recommended replacement intervals and the corresponding
operational limits are jointly defined with the engine manufacturer. 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 that you
contact the nearest official ABB Turbocharging service station.
nMmax and tMmax normally apply only when running at overload (110%) during
trials on the engine tes
t bed. These limits can also be permitted during operation
for special applications. Operation above nMmax and tMmax is not permitted.
Non-observance of the recommended replacement intervals can increase the
risk of unpredictable component failures.
Positions of the rating plates
A rating plate (1) is attached to the left and right-hand sides of the
turbocharger bearing casing.

Safety
Introduction
2.1
Turbochargers manufactured by ABB Turbo Systems are state of the art
and comply with the pertinent safety and health-protection requirements
that applied when the turbocharger was manufactured. Consequently, the
turbocharger is safe to operate. Nevertheless, during turbocharger
operation and when working on the turbocharger, residual risks can exist
which:
originate from the turbocharger itself and its accessories
originate from the operating and auxiliary materials used
are the consequence of insufficient observance of the safety
instructions
are the consequence of unsatisfactory and improper execution of
maintenance and inspection work
The operator is responsible for access to the turbocharger as well as the
organisational measures which regulate the safe handling of the
turbocharger by his personnel.
All instructions in this chapter must be observed to ensure safe and
trouble-free turbocharger operation and during work on the turbocharger.
In the same vein, all other specially marked safety instructions in every
chapter of this manual must be observed (see the section entitled
Definition of safety instructions).
