Original Operation Manual
Operating condition and replacement intervals
The operational limits for the turbocharger nBmax, tBmax, nMmax, tMmax, inspection- and replacement intervals for the compon-
ents concerned on the rating plate are valid for the operational mode and compressor inlet condition, which has been agreed upon
between the engine builder and ABB.
Note:
Replacement intervals of components depends on the load profi le, turbine inlet temperature, suction air temperature and
turbocharger speed. In case the operation conditions differs signifi cantly from what is considered to be normal for the cur-
rent application, it is recommended to contact ABB for a re-calculation of replacement intervals. Frequent load alterations,
high temperatures and high speed lower the life of components.
Unless otherwise agreed, the application limits nMmax, tMmax are valid for the test operation for a limited time.

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
casing (07) and nozzle ring (08) to the turbine wheel.
The turbine wheel (09) uses the energy contained in the exhaust gas to
drive the compressor wheel (12). The compressor then draws in fresh air
and forces precompressed air into the cylinders.
The exhaust gases escape to free air through an exhaust gas pipe which
is connected to the gas outlet casing (06).
The air which is necessary for operation of the diesel engine and is
compressed in the turbocharger is drawn through the suction branch or
the filter silencer (01) into the compressor wheel (12). It then passes
through the diffuser (11) and leaves the turbocharger through the air outlet
casing (13).
The rotor runs in two radial plain bearings (02/05). One plain bearing is in
the bearing bush (04), and the second one is in the axial thrust bearing
(03) at the compressor end.
The plain bearings are connected to a central lubricating oil duct which is
fed with oil from the engine's lubricating oil circuit. The oil outlet is always
at the lowest point of the bearing casing (10).
Turbocharger version with compressor wheel cooling system
Depending on its range of use, the turbocharger is
provided with a compressor wheel cooling system.
Compressor wheel cooling means that, after the charge air
cooler at the engine end, cooled compressor air is
delivered to the turbocharger to cool the compressor
wheel.
In view of the respective operating conditions, it is
absolutely essential that the compressor wheel is cooled in
order to guarantee its reliability and replacement intervals.
In the case of the turbocharger version with compressor
wheel cooling, the cooling air is supplied through the side
connection (15) in the bearing casing.

Explanation of the rating plate
The recommended replacement intervals and the corresponding
operational limits are jointly defined with the engine manufacturer. This
information is specific to the system.
Operation above the indicated values nBmax, tBmax can considerably shorten the
recommended replacement intervals. In such cases, we recommend that you
contact the nearest official ABB Turbocharging service station.
nMmaxand tMmax normally apply only when running at overload (110%) during
trials on the engine test bed. These limits can also be permitted during operation
for special applications. Operation above nMmax and tMmax is not permitted.
Non-observance of the recommended replacement intervals can increase the
risk of unpredictable component failures.
Positions of the rating plates
A rating plate is attached to the turbocharger foot, one on the left and one
on the right. In the case of turbochargers with insulation supplied by ABB
Turbo Systems, at least one additional rating plate is attached to the
insulation of the gas outlet casing.

Replacement intervals for turbocharger
components
4.3
The recommended replacement intervals for the compressor and turbine
wheels due to stress caused by centrifugal forces and load cycles are
calculated under consideration of the operating conditions while applying
the safety concept for rotating components. They can be found on the
turbocharger rating plate. Incalculable influencing parameters can shorten
the recommended replacement intervals for the rotor, see Influencing
parameters.
The expected replacement intervals for non-rotating components and
bearing parts are extremely dependent upon system-specific operating
conditions, see Influencing parameters.
When the specified, periodic inspections are carried out, the individual
components are inspected for wear and tear and replaced if necessary. In
this way, trouble-free operation is ensured.
The following parameters influence the replacement intervals for
turbocharger components:
Parameters influencing bearing parts
Poor quality of the lubricating oil (lubrication oil filter system, condition
of lubricating oil)
Unusual loads (vibration, start/stop frequency)
Non-permissible state of rotor unbalance

Speed differences with multiple turbochargers per engine
The speeds of all turbochargers on one engine differ only slightly from
each other in normal operation.
The difference between the highest and the lowest turbocharger speed
must not be more than 3 % relative to the speed limit nBmax.
If this permissible range of difference is exceeded, the following steps
must be carried out:
Reduce engine performance immediately until the highest
turbocharger speed no longer exceeds 70% of nBmax.
If the engine cannot be stopped, continue to run at this reduced engine
performance or turbocharger speed.
If the turbocharger surges continuously, engine performance must be
reduced further.
Measure the temperatures in the air and gas lines to and from the
turbochargers and compare them with standard values.
If the engine can be stopped for a short time:
Inspect the air and gas lines as well as the turbocharger and eliminate

Revision C
Cleaning the compressor during operation
5.3
NOTICE
These instructions for wet cleaning apply only when cleaning is carried
out with clean water and the enginebuilder permits the process.
The degree of contamination of the compressor stage (compressor wheel
and diffuser) depends on how clean the drawn-in air is.
Deposits of dirt can build up in the flow channels if the following
substances are in the intake air:
Oily or salty mist
Solid combustion residues
Various kinds of dust
Contamination of the compressor stage has a negative influence on the
compressor efficiency and the charging pressure.
This results in higher exhaust gas temperatures and higher fuel
consumption by the engine. Contamination of the compressor can also
increase rotor unbalance.
Under no circumstances is periodic cleaning of the compressor during
operation a substitute for the service work carried out when the
turbocharger is completely dismantled and the compressor is cleaned
mechanically.
The interval between periodic cleaning is very dependent on the operating
conditions. In general, cleaning should be carried out every 25 to 100
operating hours.
NOTICE
Cleaning intervals
Should the specified cleaning intervals prove incompatible with engine
operation, please contact ABB Turbo Systems.

Revision C
Cleaning method
Cleaning of the compressor during operation is carried out using the
cleaning method described in the following:
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
of the compressor wheel through an injection pipe fitted in the filter
silencer or the suction branch.
The water does not act as a solvent, but the dirt deposit is removed by the
mechanical impact of the droplets. This is a very suitable process,
provided that the degree of contamination is not too high.
CAUTION
Corrosion and deposits when cleaning
Damage and impairment of turbocharger parts due to salt water and
cooling water additives
Don't use salt water for cleaning, but only clean fresh water.
In the case of V-engines with several turbochargers on each engine, we
recommend parallel cleaning of the compressors. This cleaning process is
faster and the risk of turbocharger surging is reduced.

Sporadic surge blows
Surging of the turbocharger can occur during certain operating conditions
such as when reducing the engine performance quickly when
manoeuvring. At the same time, the flow direction in the compressor is
momentarily reversed. Such sporadic surge blows do not impair the safe
operation of the turbocharger.
A surge blow is accompanied by a loud bang and escape of hot air
from the filter silencer.

Fitting error
The screw plug for the sensor is fitted with a
gasket.
When fitting the speed sensor, this gasket
must be removed. If it is fitted by mistake,
the distance from the sensor tip to the
signal-generating sealing disc increases. As
a result, the voltage amplitude of the speed
signal decreases, which can cause problems
for the evaluation electronics.
This problem is eliminated by removing the
gasket.
Defective sensor Contact ABB Turbocharging service station.
Measured

Dirty sensor tip
The sensor tip is magnetic and can thus
attract metal particles. As a result, the
distance to the auxiliary bearing decreases,
which can lead to amplification of the noise
component and consequently to faulty
triggering.
Remove the sensor, clean its tip and refit the
sensor using the specified tightening torque.
