Mode of operation
The turbocharger is a turbomachine and consists of the following main components:
¡Turbine
¡Compressor.
These components are installed on a common shaft and form the rotor.
The exhaust gases of the internal combustion engine flow through the turbine casing(08)
and the nozzle ring(07) onto the turbine(05). The turbine(05) uses the energy contained in
the exhaust gas to drive the rotor and thus the compressor wheel(09). The exhaust gases
then reach the atmosphere through the gas outlet flange(06) and the exhaust gas pipe con-
nected to it.
The compressor wheel(09) sucks fresh air through the air suction branch or the filter silen-
cer(01). The energy required for building up the pressure is transferred to the air in the com-
pressor wheel(09). 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, which are located between the compressor and
the turbine in the bearing casing(04). The axial bearing is also in the form of a plain bearing.
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 lies at the deepest point of the bear-
ing casing(04).
1.4.1 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 (M6..) on the rating plate.

2 Safety / 2.5 Intended use
© Copyright 2021 ABB. All rights reserved. HZTL4041_EN Rev.E January 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.
ABB accepts no liability and rejects all warranty claims for any non-intended uses.

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.
