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.

1 Preliminary remarks
1.1 Purpose of this manual
This Operation Manual belongs to the turbocharger with the identical
serial number (01), see the cover sheet of the Operation Manual and the
turbocharger rating plate.
Operation Manual
This Operation Manual enables you to familiarize yourself with the tur-
bocharger supplied by ABB Turbo Systems and to use it as intended.
It provides important information in order that the turbocharger can be
operated safely, correctly and efficiently.
This Operation Manual complements and expands existing national reg-
ulations concerning work safety and accident prevention.
Target group
This Operation Manual is intended for engineers and qualified mechan-
ics who are responsible for operating the engine and the turbocharger
installed on it.
Availability of operation manual
An operation manual must be available at all times at the place where
the turbocharger is used.
Everyone who operates or works on the turbocharger must have first
read and understood the operation manual.

Mode of operation
The turbocharger is a turbo-machine and consists of the following main
components:
¡Turbine
¡Compressor
These are both mounted on a common shaft.
Exhaust gases from the diesel engine flow through the gas inlet casing
(6) and the nozzle ring (7) to impinge on the turbine wheel (8).
The turbine wheel (8) uses the energy contained in the exhaust gas to
drive the compressor wheel (11). The compressor draws in fresh air, com-
presses it and then forces it into the engine cylinders.
The exhaust gas escapes to free air through the exhaust gas pipe which
is connected to the gas outlet casing (5).
The air, which is required for operation of the diesel engine and com-
pressed in the turbocharger, is drawn through the filter silencer (1) into
the compressor wheel (11). This air then passes through the diffuser (10)
and leaves the turbocharger through the compressor casing (12).
The rotor runs in two radial plain bearings (2/4), which are located in the
bearing casing (9) between the compressor and the turbine. The axial
thrust bearing (3) is at the compressor end.
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 out-
let is always at the lowest point of the bearing casing (9).
The turbocharger is equipped with an emergency lubrication oil tank,
which is integrated in the bearing casing. During an emergency stop
caused by a failure of the lubrication oil system, this emergency lubrica-
tion unit supplies oil to the bearings until the rotor comes to a standstill.
1.3 Intended use of the turbocharger
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 enginebuilder has provided ABB Turbo Systems with information re-
garding the intended purpose of use of the engine, from which the spe-
cific operating limits shown on the turbocharger rating plate (such as
speeds, temperatures and replacement intervals) have been determined.

Any other use is considered to be a special application, which must first
be clarified with ABB Turbo Systems. The manufacturer accepts no liabil-
ity for any other type of use. If the equipment is used for any other pur-
pose, ABB Turbo Systems reserves the right to reject all warranty claims.
State of the art 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, im-
proper use may cause damage to the machine.
uThe machine may be operated only by trained personnel.
Use of the turbocharger as intended also includes observance of the in-
stallation / fitting, disassembly / removal, operating, maintenance / ser-
vicing and repair conditions specified by the manufacturer. Disposal reg-
ulations set down by local authorities must be observed.
Perfect condition The turbocharger may be installed only when in technically perfect condi-
tion 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.
uMalfunctions which could affect safety must be eliminated immedi-
ately.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any damage resulting from un-
authorised alterations to the turbocharger.
1.4 Storage of new turbochargers and spare parts
Storage of new turbochargers and spare parts up to 6 months
New turbochargers and spare parts from ABB Turbo Systems can be
stored in sealed packaging without additional mothballing measures for
up to 6 months from the date of delivery (marked by the VCI label on the
package).
Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI)
Only dry rooms in which the relative humidity is between 40…70 % and
no condensation can form are suitable for storage.

Storage of new turbochargers and spare parts for more than 6
months (VCI)
WARNING
Protection of health when handling VCIs
VCI products are not hazardous in the sense of the Hazardous Sub-
stances Ordinance. Nevertheless, the following points are to be ob-
served when handling VCIs:
uEnsure good room ventilation.
uDo not eat, drink or keep food at the workplace while working with
VCIs.
uWear safety gloves.
uClean hands and face after working with VCIs.
uFor further information refer to www.branopac.com.
Wear safety gloves to protect against chemical hazards.
The following mothballing measures are required every 6months:
uOpen the package.
uRemove 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.brano-
pac.com.
uDispose of the old VCI corrosion protection emitter in an environ-
mentally compatible manner, professionally and in accordance with
local regulations.
uSeal the package. The better the external seal is designed, the more
permanent the protection.
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:
uCheck 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 turbochar-
ger or rotor must be inspected by an ABB Turbocharging Service Sta-
tion and repacked.
uInspect the package for damage. If the package is damaged, the tur-
bocharger or cartridge group must be inspected by an ABB Tur-
bocharging 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.
NOTICE
Replacement components ready for operation
If the 70% display field of the hygrometer(02) has not changed colour
and the package is undamaged, the replacement turbocharger or re-
placement 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 con-
tent of the package must have the same temperature during unpacking.
