Intended use

Use on internal combustion engines in general
ABB turbochargers are intended for charging internal combustion engines.
The A100-L/A200-L turbochargers are designed for use on 2-stroke engines. These can be
operated with liquid and gaseous fuels.
To ensure compliance with the machinery directive 2006/42/EC when using on gas engines,
the turbocharger must be operated in an engine room classified as "not at risk of explosion".
This is in accordance with the position paper [2] relating to ATEX issued by EUROMOT [1].
The turbocharger supplies the engine with the air volume and associated charging pressure
required for operation.
The turbocharger is solely intended to be operated with a clockwise direction of rotation as
viewed from the turbine end.
The turbocharger is supplied with air from the engine compartment via the filter silencer. If
the air is mixed with cooled exhaust gases via the low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation
(EGR), it must be ensured that these are cleaned as well as possible and that no water
droplets or exhaust gas particles enter the compressor inlet.
The specific operating limits of the turbocharger were determined on the basis of informa-
tion from the enginebuilder about the intended use. These data are given on the rating
plate.
The use of the turbocharger is limited to the specific application released at the time of de-
livery.
ABB accepts no liability and rejects all warranty claims for any non-intended applications.
