The diagram shows the position of the low-pressure (Power2LP) and high-pressure stage
(Power2HP) within two-stage turbocharging (Power2). The low-pressure stage is always op-
erated in combination with a high-pressure stage connected in series. The two-stage tur-
bocharging (Power2) supplies the engine with the air volume and associated charging pres-
sure required for operation.
Here, the exhaust gases of the internal combustion engine flow through the turbine (22) of
the high-pressure stage and subsequently through the bellows (23*) of the gas pipe to the
turbine (24) of the low-pressure stage. The compressor (25) of the low-pressure stage sucks
in fresh air or the air/gas mixture, respectively. This precompressed air or air/gas mixture
flows through the intercooler (26) into the compressor (21) of the high-pressure stage. Here
the air or air/gas mixture is compressed further and leaves the two-stage turbocharging
(Power2) in the direction of the charge air cooler.

*) If present
The high-pressure stage (Power2 HP) is a turbomachine, and its main components are a tur-
bine and a compressor. These components are installed on a common shaft and form the ro-
tor (see Fig.2: Layout of the high-pressure stage →8).
In the high-pressure stage(Power2 HP) shown in the sectional view (see Fig.2: Layout of the
high-pressure stage →8), the exhaust gas flows through the turbine casing(14) and the
nozzle ring(11) and reaches the turbine(08). The HP turbine uses the energy contained in the
exhaust gas to drive the rotor. The exhaust gases then flow through the gas outlet flange
(10), the gas outlet casing (09) and the exhaust gas pipe connected to it before they reach
the turbine of the low-pressure stage (Power2 LP).
The rotor runs in two radial plain bearings (07), which are located in the bearing casing(06)
between the compressor and turbine. The axial thrust bearing (05) is located between the
two radial plain bearings. 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 bearing casing.
The HP compressor wheel(16) connected to the shaft sucks in the precompressed air or an
air/gas mixture from the low-pressure stage(25) through the air suction branch(01). The air
is compressed further in the HP compressor(21) and the downstream diffuser(04) and sub-
sequently supplied to the charge air cooler via the compressor casing(03).

2.6 Deflagration on gas engines
Low-pressure stages from Turbo Systems can tolerate a deflagration with a transient pres-
sure increase of 12bar (guideline value).
High-pressure stages from Turbo Systems can tolerate a deflagration with a transient pres-
sure increase of 15bar (guideline value).
After a deflagration event, Turbo Systems recommends verifying the following points on the
low-pressure and high-pressure stages:
¡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 low-pressure and
high-pressure stages before the next start. This inspection and evaluation must be carried
