Safety Introduction Turbochargers manufactured by ABB Turbo Systems are state of the art and comply with the respective health and safety standards in effect at the time the turbocharger was built. This ensures safe operation of the turbocharger. Nevertheless, there may be some residual risks during operation of and work on the turbocharger which: ...
The specific operating limits of the turbocharger were determined on the basis of information from the enginebuilder about the intended use. These data are given on the rating plate. ABB Turbo Systems accepts no liability and rejects all warranty claims for any non-intended uses.
Deflagration on gas engines ABB turbochargers can tolerate a deflagration with a transient pressure increase of 12 bar. ABB Turbo Systems recommends subjecting the turbocharger to a visual inspection after a deflagration event. As part of the inspection, the position of the turbine casing and the position of the compressor casing to the bearing casing must be checked, and the bearing casing must be examined to see if it has shifted in relation to the bracket.
The locations of the rating plates are defined in the Operation Manual / Product description. Periodic check of the pressure vessels The pressure vessels used by ABB Turbo Systems, for example, in the wet or dry cleaning process, are so-called simple pressure vessels.

The oil is supplied (02) and drained (03) through the bracket (01). The necessary sealing is by means of O-rings which are located in the slots of the bracket. The gaskets are not included in the ABB Turbo Systems scope of delivery and must be provided by the enginebuilder.
Fixing material scope of delivery The threaded rods and nuts for fastening the turbocharger on the bracket are not included in the ABB Turbo Systems scope of delivery. These parts depend on the version of the engine- side bracket. The clamping nuts are included in the ABB Turbo Systems scope of delivery.
Oil pressure measuring point Oil temperature measuring point For monitoring the lubricating oil pressure, ABB Turbo Systems recommends installing an "M" manometer immediately before the turbocharger. If the pressure is controlled electronically, the appropriate signals are to be triggered at the warning and alarm values.

– 600 °C with non-insulated casing At temperatures below the specified values, post-lubrication must be ensured until the rotors come to a standstill. ABB Turbo Systems recommends post-lubrication for 10 minutes. Observe the oil pressure specified for post-lubrication (see Table 6).
8000 … 12000 h) Table 11: Maintenance table [h] = Hours of operation If the maintenance intervals are incompatible with operation of the engine, contact ABB Turbo Systems. ABB Turbo Systems recommends having mechanical cleaning carried out by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station during the service work.
In this case, ABB Turbo Systems recommends having the contaminated components cleaned mechanically by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station. Periodic cleaning in operation is no replacement for service work in which an ABB Turbocharging Service Station completely dismantles and maintains the turbocharger.

The compressor is cleaned during operation using the wet cleaning method. It is carried out at an engine load of 50 ... 85 %. This cleaning method has been tested and approved by ABB Turbo Systems. V-engines On V-engines with several turbochargers per engine, parallel cleaning of both turbochargers is recommended.
The success of the cleaning can be recognised based on the charging pressure or the exhaust gas temperature. If the engine values are still unsatisfactory after carrying out the process three times, ABB Turbo Systems recommends having the turbocharger checked and cleaned by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station.
In this case, ABB Turbo Systems recommends having the contaminated components cleaned mechanically by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station. Periodic cleaning in operation is no replacement for service work in which an ABB Turbocharging Service Station completely dismantles and maintains the turbocharger.
