Operation Manual / TPS50 1 Preliminary remarks / 1.2 Layout and function Mode of operation The turbocharger is a turbomachine consisting of the following main components: ¡ turbine ¡ compressor These are mounted on a common shaft. The exhaust gas from the diesel or gas engine flows through the gas in- let casing (9) and nozzle ring (8) to the turbine (7).
Only use original parts from ABB. ABB accepts no liability for any damage resulting from the use of non- original parts and corresponding accessories. Competence of personnel The turbocharger must only be operated and serviced by trained and au- thorised personnel.

Operation Manual / TPS50 2 Safety / 2.4 Safe operation and maintenance Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) according to the material safety data sheet. Inspect the electric cables for abrasion and damage before and after your cleaning work. Safety during disassembly, assembly, maintenance and troubleshooting Always perform the specified adjustments, servicing as well as in- spection work and observe inspection intervals.
Operation Manual / TPS50 2 Safety / 2.5 Hazards during operation and maintenance 2.5 Hazards during operation and maintenance Mechanical hazards during operation During normal operation, no mechanical hazards emanate from the tur- bocharger if it has been installed properly. WARNING Risk of injury Contact with rotating parts can lead to serious injuries.

Operation Manual / TPS50 2 Safety / 2.5 Hazards during operation and maintenance Hazards due to hot surfaces and substances During operation, turbocharger surfaces and attached parts as well as operating materials (lubricating oil) become hot. The surface temperat- ure is dependent on the effectiveness of the insulation being used. The temperature can become high enough so that it falls into ranges where burns are possible.
Page 22
Operation Manual / TPS50 2 Safety / 2.5 Hazards during operation and maintenance WARNING Handling operating and auxiliary materials Swallowing or inhaling vapours of operating and auxiliary materials or contact with them may be harmful to health. Do not breathe in these substances and avoid contact with the skin. Ensure proper ventilation.
Page 23
Operation Manual / TPS50 2 Safety / 2.5 Hazards during operation and maintenance Ensure that the work space is adequately ventilated. Seal containers tightly immediately after use and put them away. Collect used working and auxiliary materials safely, store them separ- ately in suitable containers and dispose of them properly and in an environmentally compatible manner in accordance with statutory reg- ulations.
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 turbochargers before the next start. This in- spection and evaluation must be carried out by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station. 2.7 Lifting loads...
Page 25
Operation Manual / TPS50 2 Safety / 2.7 Lifting loads In the case of two or more suspension points, the slinging angle must not exceed 45°. This avoids excessive loading due to inclined tensile loading. Fasten turbocharger assemblies / components as described in re- spective handling steps.
Operation Manual / TPS50 3 Commissioning / 3.1 Oil supply 3 Commissioning 3.1 Oil supply A carefully designed and installed oil supply, which functions in all pos- sible operational conditions, is an important prerequisite for trouble- free turbocharger operation. The turbocharger is normally lubricated with oil from the engine oil cir- cuit.
Page 27
Operation Manual / TPS50 3 Commissioning / 3.1 Oil supply Oil inlet viscosity and temperature The oil-inlet temperature must not exceed 105°C.

NOTICE Service inspection after 5 years To prevent age- and stoppage-related machine damage, an inspection by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station is recommended at the latest 5 years after the last service. 4.2.1 Service work every 25 … 50 hours Visual inspection for air, exhaust gas, water and oil leaks.
4.2.3 Service work in accordance with instructions on rating plate (In general, after 8000 … 16000 hours of operation) Rotor and bearing parts must be inspected and assessed by an ABB Tur- bocharging Service Station. The following work can be carried in prepar- ation.
If the coating of dirt is very thick and hard, the compressor can only be cleaned manually when disassembled. This cleaning must be carried out by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station. Cleaning interval The interval between periodic cleaning is very dependent on the operat- ing conditions.
Page 36
Cleaning method Cleaning the compressor while in operation is carried out as wet clean- ing. This cleaning method is tested and approved by ABB Turbocharging. Principle of wet cleaning To clean the compressor stage during operation, water is injected in front of the compressor wheel through an injection pipe fitted in the fil- ter silencer or the suction branch.
