Long-term storage of replacement turbochargers or spare parts
Per order, turbochargers or cartridge groups will be prepared by ABB Turbo Systems for
prolonged storage. The package is equipped with a hygrometer (see illustration).
Figure 3: Package with hygrometer
The following measures are required every 6 months:
Check the hygrometer (2) in the sight-glass. There is an opening (1) in the wooden crate

which allows this check to be carried out. When the display field has changed colour at the
70% level, the maximum permissible humidity has been exceeded. In this case the
turbocharger or cartridge group must be inspected by an ABB Turbocharging Service
Station and repacked.
Inspect the package for damage. If the package is damaged, the turbocharger or cartridge

group must be inspected by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station and repacked.
After every 3 years the following work steps must be performed by an ABB Turbocharging
Service Station:
 Inspect the components
 Exchange the desiccant agent
 Repackage the components.
Replacement components ready for operation
If the 70% display field of the hygrometer (2) has not changed colour and the
package is undamaged, the replacement turbocharger or replacement
NOTICE
cartridge group can be placed into operation without any prior testing by an
ABB Turbocharging Service Station.
Unpacking replacement turbochargers or spare parts
The corrosion protection effect ends after the material is unpacked from the VCI package.
To avoid the formation of condensation, the surroundings and the content of the package must
have the same temperature during unpacking.
