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 and consists of the following main
components:
Turbine
Compressor
These are both mounted on a common shaft.
The exhaust gases from the diesel engine flow through the gas inlet cas-
ing (07) and nozzle ring (08) to the turbine wheel.
The turbine wheel (09) uses the energy contained in the exhaust gas to
drive the compressor wheel (12). The compressor then draws in fresh air,
compresses it and then forces it into the cylinders.
The exhaust gases escape to free air through an exhaust gas pipe which
is connected to the gas outlet casing (06).
The air which is necessary for operation of the diesel engine and is com-
pressed in the turbocharger is drawn through the suction branch or the fil-
ter silencer (01) into the compressor wheel (12). This air then passes
through the diffuser (11) and leaves the turbocharger through the com-
pressor casing (13).
The rotor runs in two radial plain bearings (02/05). One plain bearing is in
the bearing bush (04), and the second one is in the axial thrust bearing
(03) at the compressor end.
The plain bearings are connected to a central lubricating oil duct which is
fed with oil from the engine's lubricating oil circuit. The oil outlet is always
at the lowest point of the bearing casing (10).
Turbocharger version with compressor wheel cooling system
Depending on its range of use, the turbocharger is provid-
ed with a compressor wheel cooling system. Compressor
wheel cooling means that, after the charge air cooler at the
engine end, cooled compressor air is delivered to the tur-
bocharger to cool the compressor wheel.
In view of the respective operating conditions, it is abso-
lutely essential that the compressor wheel is cooled in or-
der to guarantee its reliability and replacement intervals. In
the case of the turbocharger version with compressor
wheel cooling, the cooling air is supplied through the side
connection (15) in the bearing casing.

Intended use
1.3
Use on internal combustion engines in general
ABB turbochargers are intended for turbocharging internal combustion
engines.
To ensure compliance with the machinery directive 2006/42/EC when us-
ing 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 posi-
tion paper [2] relating to ATEX issued by EUROMOT [1].
The turbocharger supplies the engine with the air volume or air/gas mix-
ture and the associated charging pressure required for operation.
The turbocharger is solely intended to be operated with a clockwise direc-
tion of rotation as viewed from the turbine end.
The specific operating limits of the turbocharger were determined on the
basis of information from the enginebuilder about the intended use. These
data are given on the rating plate.
ABB Turbo Systems accepts no liability and rejects all warranty claims for
any non-intended uses.

bo Systems for prolonged storage. The package is equipped with a
hygrometer (see illustration).
The following measures are required every 6 months:
Check the hygrometer (02) in the sight-glass. There is an opening (01)
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 tur-
bocharger or cartridge group must be inspected by an ABB Turbo-
charging 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.

Explanation of the rating plate
The recommended replacement intervals and the corresponding opera-
tional 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.
nMmaxand tMmax normally apply only when running at overload (110%) during tri-
als on the engine test 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 is attached to the turbocharger foot, one on the left and one
on the right. In the case of turbochargers with insulation supplied by ABB
Turbo Systems, at least one additional rating plate is attached to the insu-
lation of the gas outlet casing.
