Operation Manual / TPL65VA32 / VA33 1 Preliminary remarks / 1.2 Layout and function Mode of operation The turbocharger is a turbomachine and consists of the following main components: ¡ Turbine ¡ Compressor These are both mounted on a common shaft. The exhaust gases from the diesel engine flow through the gas inlet cas- ing (07) and nozzle ring (08) to the turbine wheel.
Any other use is considered to be a special application, which must first be clarified with ABB Turbocharging. The manufacturer accepts no liab- ility for any other type of use. If the equipment is used for any other purpose, ABB Turbocharging reserves the right to reject all warranty claims.
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 Turbocharging 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).
Page 11
Seal the package. The better the external seal is designed, the more permanent the protection. Long-term storage of turbochargers The turbochargers will be prepared for prolonged storage by ABB Tur- bocharging on request. The package is equipped with a hygrometer (see illustration).
Page 13
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.

The turbocharger is normally lubricated with oil from the engine oil cir- cuit.
Page 32
Operation Manual / TPL65VA32 / VA33 3 Commissioning / 3.1 Oil supply Oil pressure The oil pressure in front of the turbocharger must be maintained pre- cisely to ensure trouble-free operation. The permissible oil pressure ranges at measuring point M (blind connec- tion) on the turbocharger are listed below.
Operation Manual / TPL65VA32 / VA33 3 Commissioning / 3.2 Inspection work 3.2 Inspection work Inspection work includes preventive visual controls plus monitoring and measuring work before and during commissioning. Inspections help de- tect changes to the turbocharger. Machine damage can be avoided. 3.2.1 Inspection before commissioning Monitoring devices Check for correct functioning.
The first step is to check the seal for the oil supply to the turbocharger. If this is not in proper condition, contact an official ABB Turbocharging service station.
