1 Safety / 1.5 Intended use
© Copyright 2017 ABB. All rights reserved. HZTL4022_EN Revision E May 2017
1.5 Intended use
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 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.
ABB accepts no liability and rejects all warranty claims for any non-intended uses.

State of the art
The turbocharger is designed and manufactured according to the state of the art and is safe
to operate.
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.
1.6 Deflagration on gas engines
ABB turbochargers can tolerate a deflagration with a transient pressure increase of 12bar.
After a deflagration event ABB Turbo Systems recommends verifying the following points on
the turbocharger:
¡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.

1.7 Warning plates on the turbocharger
Warning plates are attached to the turbocharger, which must be observed. The warning
plates must always be present in the intended locations and must be legible.
Fig.1: Warning plate
If warning plates are not present in the intended locations or are not legible, they must be
replaced with new warning plates. The necessary information can be found in the Operation
Manual, Chapter 4 Product description.

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 a case, we recommend that you contact the nearest official
service station of ABB Turbo Systems.
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.
Locations of the rating plates
The locations of the rating plates are defined in the Operation Manual, Chapter 4 Product
description.
1.9 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.
