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 com-
ponents:
€Turbine
€Compressor
These are mounted on a common shaft.
Exhaust gases from the diesel or gas engine flow through the turbine cas-
ing (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 axi-
al thrust bearing (5) is located between the two radial plain bearings.
The bearings are connected to a central lubricating oil duct which is sup-
plied by the engine's lubricating oil circuit. The oil outlet is always at the
lowest point of the bearing casing (4).

Explanation of the rating plate
The recommended replacement intervals and the corresponding opera-
tional limits are jointly defined with the engine manufacturer. This informa-
tion 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
One rating plate (01) each is attached on the left and the right side of the
turbocharger bearing casing.

tion 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 instruc-
tions
€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 turbo-
charger by his personnel.
All instructions in this chapter must be observed to ensure safe and trou-
ble-free turbocharger operation and during work on the turbocharger.
