Operation Manual cover sheet and the turbocharger rating plate. Operation Manual This Operation Manual will familiarise you with the turbocharger of ABB Turbo Systems and provides information on how to use it in compliance with its intended purpose. The Operation Manual explains what is important to know in order to operate the turbocharger safely, appropriately and profitably.
Caution and warning signs are described in chapter Safety. ABB Turbo Systems ABB Turbo Systems Ltd is identified as ABB Turbo Systems in this document. Official service stations of ABB Turbo Systems Official service stations are identified in this document as ABB Turbocharging Service Sta- tions.
Safety Introduction Turbochargers manufactured by ABB Turbo Systems are state of the art and comply with the respective health and safety standards in effect at the time the turbocharger was built. This ensures safe operation of the turbocharger. Nevertheless, there may be some residual risks during operation of and work on the turbocharger which: ...
Warning plates are affixed at the following locations on the turbocharger: Figure 2: ≤ A145 If warning plates are not present in the designated locations or not readable, proceed as follows: Order new warning plates from ABB Turbocharging Service Stations. Remove any warning plates that have become unreadable. ...

(3) is fitted. Never operate a turbocharger without burst protection and insulation. If the insulation from ABB Turbo Systems (1) is not installed, the separate burst protection (3) plus either the insulation (2) or an appropriate insulati- on supplied by the enginebuilder must be installed for operation.
Page 16
Hot surfaces on the non-insulated turbocharger Non-insulated turbochargers can cause serious injuries to personnel (burns). ABB Turbo Systems supplies the turbocharger with or without insulation in WARNING accordance with the purchase order received from the enginebuilder. If supply is without insulation, the enginebuilder is responsible for providing the turbocharger with proper insulation and for providing protection against contact with hot surfaces.
Periodic check of the pressure vessels The pressure vessels used by ABB Turbo Systems, for example, in the wet or dry cleaning process, are so-called simple pressure vessels. The locally applicable legal regulations regarding periodic checks of the pressure vessels must be observed.
Page 17 / 115 Use of ABB turbochargers on gas engines ABB turbochargers can tolerate a deflagration with a transient pressure increase of 12 bar. In deflagration tests on engines with flame barriers, a maximum of 11 bar was measured. This value is supported by the practical experience in operation gained by renowned gas engine manufacturers.
This document is valid for different design variants of turbochargers. There may be sections and descriptions of components that are not relevant for a specific turbocharger variant. The ABB Turbocharging Service Stations will be happy to provide information on questions regarding a design variant.
Storage of new turbochargers and cartridge groups for up to 6 months New turbochargers and cartridge groups from ABB Turbo Systems can be stored in their closed packages for 6 months from the date of delivery without additional mothballing mea- sures (indicated by VCI label on package).
Check the package for damage. If the package is damaged, the turbocharger or cartridge group must be checked and repackaged by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station. After every 3 years, the following steps must be carried out by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station: Checking the component ...

Fixing material scope of delivery The threaded rods and nuts for fastening the turbocharger on the bracket are not included in the ABB Turbo Systems scope of delivery. These parts depend on the version of the engine- side bracket. The clamping nuts are included in the ABB Turbo Systems scope of delivery.
M Oil pressure measuring point T Oil temperature measuring point Monitoring of the lubricating oil pressure For monitoring the lubricating oil pressure, ABB Turbo Systems recommends installing an "M" manometer immediately before the turbocharger. If the NOTICE pressure is controlled electronically, the appropriate signals are to be trigge- red at the warning and alarm values.

– Cartridge group: Compressor, turbine Cleaning method To allow you to observe the standard service intervals and to maintain a high turbocharger efficiency, ABB Turbo Systems recommends that compressor NOTICE and turbine be cleaned during operation. This allows the thermal load of the engine to be kept low while ensuring maximum fuel efficiency.
Page 65
CAUTION Never connect injection tubes directly to a water pipe or a larger metering container other than that specified by ABB Turbo Systems. V-engines On V-engines with several turbochargers per engine, parallel cleaning of both turbochargers is recommended. This cleaning process is faster and reduces the risk of surging of the tur- bocharger.

When cleaning, note that the absorption segments (81136) must only be cleaned lightly with pressurized air, with a soft brush or a moist cleaning cloth. Have any heavily contaminated absorption segments replaced by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station.
To prevent significant loss of effi- ciency, specific tolerances must be fulfilled. If there is any doubt about the extent of the rubbing, contact an ABB Turbocharging Service Station. Have a dimension check carried out by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station.
CAUTION Have the cause clarified and remedied immediately by an ABB Tur- bocharging Service Station. Have parts assessed for damage and, if necessary, replaced by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station. Sporadic surge blows Surging of the turbocharger can occur during certain operating states, such as when reducing the engine load quickly when manoeuvring.
