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 cas-
ing (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,
compresses it and then forces it 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 com-
pressed in the turbocharger is drawn through the suction branch or the
filter silencer (01) into the compressor wheel (12). This air then passes
through the diffuser (11) and leaves the turbocharger through the com-
pressor 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 al-
ways 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. Com-
pressor wheel cooling means that, after the charge air
cooler at the engine end, cooled compressor air is de-
livered to the turbocharger to cool the compressor
wheel.
Depending on the respective operating conditions, it is
absolutely essential that the compressor wheel is cooled
in order to guarantee its reliability and the 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.

1.3
Intended use
Use on internal combustion engines in general
ABB turbochargers are intended for turbocharging internal combustion
engines.
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 or air/gas mix-
ture and the associated charging pressure required for operation.
The turbocharger is solely intended to be operated with a clockwise dir-
ection of rotation as viewed from the turbine end.
The specific operating limits of the turbocharger were determined on
the basis of information from the enginebuilder about the intended use.
These data are given on the rating plate.
ABB Turbocharging is not liable for any unintended applications and
shall reject all warranty claims.

Perfect condition
The turbocharger must be operated in technically perfect condition and
in accordance with its intended application.
ABB Turbocharging shall not accept any liability for damage caused by
unauthorised modifications to the turbocharger or improper operation.
1.4
Deflagration on gas engines
ABB turbochargers can withstand a deflagration with a transient pres-
sure increase of 12 bar.
ABB Turbocharging recommends that, following a deflagration event,
the turbocharger undergoes a visual inspection. Items to check during
this inspection are the position of the turbine casing, of the compressor
casing to the bearing casing, as well as a shifting of the bearing casing in
relation to the bracket. A crack inspection of the casings and the bellows
is also recommended. The nearest ABB Turbocharging Service Station
should be commissioned with this inspection and assessment.

1.8.1
Explanation of the rating plate
The recommended replacement intervals and the corresponding opera-
tional limits are jointly defined with the engine manufacturer. This in-
formation 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. Operation above nMmax and tMmax is not permit-
ted.
Non-observance of the recommended replacement intervals increases the
risk of unpredictable component failures.
1.8.2
Positions of the rating plates
A rating plate is attached to the turbocharger foot, one on the left and
one on the right. On turbochargers with insulation from ABB, at least one
additional rating plate is attached to the insulation of the gas outlet cas-
ing.

Rotating components
The recommended replacement intervals for the compressor and turbine
wheels due to stress caused by centrifugal forces and load cycles are cal-
culated 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 Influ-
encing parameters.
Non-rotating components
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.

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:
u Reduce engine performance immediately until the highest turbochar-
ger speed no longer exceeds 70% of nBmax.
u If the engine cannot be stopped, continue to run at this reduced en-
gine performance or turbocharger speed.
u If the turbocharger surges continuously, engine performance must be
reduced further.
u Measure the temperatures in the air and gas lines to and from the tur-
bochargers and compare them with standard values.
If the engine can be stopped for a short time:
u Inspect the air and gas lines as well as the turbocharger and eliminate
any problems.
u In any event, it is recommended that you contact the nearest ABB Tur-
bocharging Service Station.

Cleaning the compressor during operation
Approval by enginebuilder
These instructions for wet cleaning only apply when cleaning is carried
out with clean water and under the precondition that the enginebuilder
approves the process.
General
The contamination of the compressor stage (compressor wheel, wall in-
sert and diffuser) depends on the degree of purity of the air that is
drawn in.
Deposits can form in the flow channels if salt, oil mist, exhaust gas or
dust are sucked in with the air.
Consequences of contamination:
¡
Impaired compressor efficiency
¡
Higher exhaust gas temperatures
¡
Increased fuel consumption
¡
Increased rotor unbalance
Periodic cleaning of the compressor during operation prevents or delays
any major increase in contamination. It does not, however, replace the
regular service work, during which the turbocharger is completely dis-
mantled and the compressor is cleaned mechanically.
Cleaning interval
The interval between periodic cleaning is very dependent on the operat-
ing conditions. In general, cleaning should be carried out every 25 ... 100
operating hours.
Should the specified cleaning intervals prove incompatible with engine
operation, please contact ABB Turbocharging.

Cleaning method
Cleaning of the compressor during operation is carried out using the
cleaning method described in the following:
¡
Wet cleaning
This cleaning method is tested and approved by ABB Turbocharging.
Principle of wet cleaning
To clean the compressor stage during operation, water is injected in
front of the compressor wheel.
The water does not act as a solvent, but the contamination deposit is re-
moved 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
u Don't use salt water for cleaning, but only clean fresh water.
CAUTION
Uncontrolled volumes of water
Uncontrolled volumes of water can damage the turbocharger and the
engine.
u Never connect the water line without the orifice specified for the tur-
bocharger.
CAUTION
Formation of ice at low temperatures
Damage to turbocharger due to the formation of ice during wet clean-
ing if the intake air temperatures are too low.
u Never carry out wet cleaning if intake air temperatures are under
5 °C.
V-engines
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.

Surging of the compressor stage
Should repeated surging of the compressor stage occur during com-
pressor cleaning, first the cleaning parameters as well as the engine-side
system must be checked with regard to deviations (e.g. an increased
pressure loss in the charge air cooler) and corrected if necessary.
If, despite correct settings, surging of the compressor stage occurs
while cleaning the compressor, as a remedial measure the engine load
can be reduced further while cleaning the compressor. The reduction of
the engine load can lead to a reduction in the effectiveness of the com-
pressor cleaning.
u To avoid a decreased engine availability, the compressor stage can be
cleaned at reduced engine load during the drying time after wet
cleaning of the turbine has been completed. (see section Wet cleaning
turbine and nozzle ring during operation). In this case, the water injec-
tion time for cleaning the compressor can be increased from ten to
forty seconds.

Cleaning turbine blades and nozzle ring in
operation
The combustion of heavy fuel oil in diesel engines contaminates the tur-
bine blades and nozzle rings of turbochargers. The deposits on the tur-
bine components originate from the following combustion products:
¡
Soot
¡
Molten ash
¡
Cinder
¡
Incompletely burned fuel
¡
Sodium vanadyl vanadate
It is advisable to use fuels with a low ash, sulphur, sodium and vanadium
content. The fuel must also be correctly stored, prepared and handled.
We recommend using fuels with a vanadium-to-sodium mass ratio of
less than 3:1 so that the melting temperature of the sodium vanadyl
vanadate is as high as possible.
The amount of contamination increases over time, which is why regular
and correctly performed cleaning is important in order to remove the de-
posits that have formed.
Contaminated turbine components can cause a slight increase in char-
ging pressure because of narrowing of the turbine cross-section. The
contamination causes a drop in turbine efficiency, and the engine tem-
peratures downstream of the cylinder can increase. The engine perform-
ance must therefore be reduced if necessary.
The contamination of the turbine also causes rotor unbalance. Extremely
heavy contamination can lead to non-permissibly high unbalance of the
rotor.
Operating experience has shown that, in spite of regular cleaning during
operation, it is essential to carry out the overhauls during which the tur-
bine and the nozzle ring are cleaned mechanically. However, if cleaning is
carried out properly and the cleaning system is properly dimensioned,
the intervals between overhauls can be increased.
Wet cleaning interval
The interval between periodic cleaning is very dependent on the operat-
ing conditions. As a rule, cleaning should be carried out every 50 to 200
operating hours.
Cleaning method
When cleaning the turbine components during operation, use wet clean-
ing. This cleaning method is tested and approved by ABB Turbocharging.
Prerequisites for wet cleaning are that the enginebuilder approves the
process and his instructions are followed.
Principle of wet cleaning
Wet cleaning makes use of various effects. Depending on the composi-
tion of the contamination, the individual effects with their different
levels of intensity have a varying influence on the cleaning result:

¡
Erosion
The dirt is removed by the mechanical action of the impacting water
droplets.
¡
Solubility
Water solubility of the contamination deposits in water.
¡
Thermal shock
Spalling of contamination due to temperature difference.
CAUTION
Corrosion and deposits when cleaning
Damage and impairment of turbocharger parts due to salt water and
cooling water additives
u Don't use salt water for cleaning, but only clean fresh water.
Components at the turbine end are not cleaned until the engine has been
started or the engine load reduced. The exhaust gas temperature must
not exceed the value specified in the respective cleaning instructions
(see section PrerequisitesTPL-A/-C: Operating state prerequisites for
wet cleaning turbine and nozzle ring →57).
CAUTION
Reduced service life of the components
Failure to comply with the minimum stabilisation time before cleaning,
the prescribed turbine inlet temperatures and the drying time after
cleaning significantly reduces the expected service life of the compon-
ents.
u Comply with the cleaning parameters given in the tables.
V-engines
In the case of V-engines with several turbochargers on each engine, we
recommend parallel cleaning of both turbochargers. This cleaning pro-
cess is faster and the risk of turbocharger surging is reduced. We recom-
mend finding the most suitable method by performing trials.

Recommendation for wa-
ter pressure
It is necessary to have the corresponding water pipe pressure in order to
achieve the correct water flow rate (see table Cleaning parameters). If
the water pressure is too low, the water flow rate specified in the table
will not be obtained. In this case, the cleaning effect will be decreased.
Repeating cleaning cycles immediately after each other must be avoided
as this can lead to high mechanical loading and consequently to a reduc-
tion in the service life of the components.
If cleaning is unsatisfactory, the length of the process can be extended.
If the injection time is extended, it must be ensured that no unaccept-
able volume of water collects in the gas outlet casing. To avoid this, a
drainage system for the gas outlet casing should be installed and open
during the cleaning process. If a drainage system is not provided, the in-
jected volume of water can be controlled by a flowmeter in the water
supply. The maximum volume of water allowed in individual cases must
be determined together with an ABB Turbocharging Service Station. The
influence of the cleaning water on peripheral equipment, such as a
boiler, must be clarified by the operator.
Points to remember when
cleaning
The following points must be observed with regard to draining the gas
outlet casing:
¡
The exhaust gas temperature behind the turbocharger drops signi-
ficantly when cleaning (typical turbocharger outlet temperatures dur-
ing cleaning: 60 ... 180 °C).
¡
Depending on the engine load, water might run out of the drain pipe.
This outflow might not start for two or three minutes, or it might not
occur at all.
¡
If the drainage of the gas outlet casing is omitted, the turbocharger
speed and/or the gas inlet temperature must be monitored during
the cleaning process. If the load is too low, water can collect in the
gas outlet casing. Indicators for this are a sudden severe drop in the
turbocharger speed or a very large increase in the gas inlet temperat-
ure. In such cases, the cleaning operations must be stopped and the
cleaning cycle restarted with reduced water pressure or higher en-
gine load.

Introduction
Compressor wheels can be heavily contaminated by badly filtered intake
air, as can turbines by heavy fuel oil operation or coked oil. Such contam-
ination may possibly no longer be removed through cleaning during op-
eration and must be cleaned mechanically during the standard service in-
tervals (see chapter entitled Service work).
Professional overhauling of the components by an ABB Turbocharging
Service Station is required, preferably using the cleaning method de-
scribed in the following.
CAUTION
Choosing cleaning tools
Turbocharger components are sensitive to mechanical damage. The
use of needle guns or other impact tools, for example, damages the
components. Depending on the specification, nozzle rings have pro-
tective coatings, which can also be damaged.
u Only use soft tools such as scouring cloths, brushes or wire brushes.
u In the event of heavy contamination, the cleaning methods de-
scribed in this chapter such as soaking can be repeated until a satis-
factory result has been achieved.
The disassembly and assembly of the components is described in
chapter Fitting and dismantling.
u Dispose of contaminated water and cleaning agents in an environ-
mentally compatible manner, professionally and in accordance with
valid local regulations.

Sporadic surge blows
Surging of the turbocharger can occur during certain operating condi-
tions such as when reducing the engine performance quickly when man-
oeuvring. At the same time, the flow direction in the compressor is mo-
mentarily 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.

Signal amp-
litude non ex-
istent or poor
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 sig-
nal-generating sealing disc increases. As a
result, the voltage amplitude of the speed
signal decreases, which can cause prob-
lems for the evaluation electronics.
This problem is eliminated by removing
the gasket.
Defective sensor Contact ABB Turbocharging service sta-
tion.
Measured
speeds too
high
Dirty sensor tip
The sensor tip is magnetic and can thus at-
tract metal particles. As a result, the dis-
tance 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.
