Operation above the indicated values n can considerably shorten the Bmax Bmax recommended replacement intervals. In such cases, we recommend that you contact the nearest official ABB Turbocharging service station. and t normally apply only when running at overload (110%) during Mmax Mmax trials on the engine test bed.
Page 17 Safety Introduction Turbochargers manufactured by ABB Turbo Systems are state of the art and comply with the pertinent safety and health-protection requirements that applied when the turbocharger was manufactured. Consequently, the turbocharger is safe to operate. Nevertheless, during turbocharger...
Warning plates are attached to the turbocharger at the following places: If warning plates are not present at the intended places or are not legible, then proceed as follows: Order new warning plates from ABB Turbocharging Service Stations. Remove unreadable warning plates.

Hot surfaces on uninsulated turbochargers Uninsulated turbochargers can cause serious personal injuries (burns). The turbocharger is supplied by ABB Turbo Systems without insulation WARNING depending on the order from the engine builder. In this case, the engine builder is responsible for insulating the turbocharger properly or for providing protection against hot surfaces being touched.
Use of ABB turbochargers on gas engines ABB turbochargers can withstand a deflagration with a transient pressure increase of 12 bar. A maximum of 11 bar has been measured during deflagration trials on engines with flame traps. The practical operating experience of well-known manufacturers of gas engines reinforces this value.
Page 32 vessel Periodic checking of the pressure vessel The pressure vessels used by ABB Turbo Systems, such as those for wet or dry cleaning, are so-called "simple pressure vessels". The local, statutory regulations covering periodic checks of pressure vessels must be observed.

If oily liquid continues to escape after this period, an oil leak must be suspected. The first step is to check for leakage of the oil NOTICE supply to the turbocharger. If this is leaky, contact an official ABB Turbocharging service station. 3.2.4 Inspection after 100 service hours Clean or replace lubricating oil filters after the first 100 service hours.
Systems. 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 NOTICE 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.
Page 48
Service work in accordance with instructions on rating plate (In general, after 8000 … 12000 hours of operation) Rotor and bearing parts must be inspected and assessed by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station. The following work can be carried in preparation.
Cleaning method To allow you to observe the standard service intervals and to maintain a high turbocharger efficiency, ABB Turbo Systems recommends that the NOTICE cleaning procedure be carried out during operation. This allows the thermal load of the engine to be kept low while ensuring maximum fuel efficiency.
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. NOTICE The interval between periodic cleaning is very dependent on the operating Cleaning interval conditions.
Page 59
Cleaning method Cleaning the compressor while in operation is carried out as wet cleaning. This cleaning method has been tested and approved by ABB Turbo Systems. To clean the compressor stage during operation, water is injected in front Principle of wet cleaning of the compressor wheel through an injection pipe fitted in the filter silencer or the suction branch.
