1 Safety
1.1 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:
 Are caused by the turbocharger itself or its accessories.

 Are caused by the operating equipment used or supplies and materials.
 Are a consequence of insufficient compliance with safety instructions.
 Are a consequence of insufficient or inappropriate performance of maintenance and in-
spection work.
The operating company is responsible for defining measures that regulate safe access to and
safe handling of the turbocharger.
All instructions contained in this chapter must be observed for safe and trouble-free operation
of the turbocharger and during all work on the turbocharger.
All further safety instructions contained and specifically identified in every chapter of this man-
ual (Definition of safety instructions [➙ 4]) must also be observed.

1.5 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].
For use on pre-mix gas engines with ignitable propellents in the gas control system, the en-
ginebuilder must implement appropriate safety measures for explosion protection [3] (such as
flame barriers in the inlet system, for example) to assure that there is no transient pressure
increase exceeding a maximum of 12 bar before the turbocharger in case of a deflagration.
The turbocharger supplies the engine with the air volume or air/gas mixture and the associat-
ed 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 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 Turbo Systems accepts no liability and rejects all warranty claims for any non-intended
uses.

Unapproved operation
Any operation of the turbocharger outside of its operating limits can be haz-
ardous to personnel.
WARNING
 Only operate the turbocharger within its operating limits.
 Only trained personnel must operate the turbocharger.
The intended use of the turbocharger includes compliance with all regulations and conditions.
In particular, the following must be observed:
 Operation Manual
 Instructions of the enginebuilder
State of the art
The turbocharger is designed and built according to the state of the art and is safe to operate.
Flawless condition
The turbocharger must only be used when it is in a technically flawless condition and operated
in compliance with its intended use.
ABB Turbo Systems excludes any liability for damage resulting from unauthorized modifica-
tions to the turbocharger or improper operation.
1.6 Deflagration on gas engines

ABB turbochargers can tolerate a deflagration with a transient pressure increase of 12 bar.
ABB Turbo Systems recommends subjecting the turbocharger to a visual inspection after a
deflagration event. As part of the inspection, the position of the turbine casing and the position
of the compressor casing to the bearing casing must be checked, and the bearing casing must
be examined to see if it has shifted 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 instructed to carry out this inspection and assessment.
1.7 Warning plates on the turbocharger

Warning plates that must be observed are attached to the turbocharger. The warning plates
must always be present in the intended locations and must be legible.
Figure 1: Warning plate
If warning plates are not present in the intended locations or are not legible, they must be re-
placed with new warning plates. The information that is required can be found in the Operation
Manual / Product description.
Turbochargers supplied to the enginebuilder without insulation must be equipped later with
warning plates on the insulation. This is the responsibility of the enginebuilder.

Explanations regarding the rating plate
The recommended inspection and replacement intervals and the corresponding operating
limits are jointly defined with the enginebuilder. This information is specific to the system.
Operation above the indicated values nBmax, tBmax can considerably shorten the recommended
replacement intervals. In such a case, we recommend that you contact the nearest official
service station of ABB Turbo Systems.
nMmax, tMmax normally apply only when running at overload (110 %) during trials on the engine
test bed. These limit values can also be permitted during operation for special applications.
Operation above nMmax and tMmax is not permitted.
Non-observance of the recommended inspection and replacement intervals increases the risk
of unpredictable component failures.
Locations of the rating plates
The locations of the rating plates are defined in the Operation Manual / Product description.
1.9 Periodic check of the pressure vessels

Mode of operation
The turbocharger is a turbomachine and consists of the following main components:
 Turbine
 Compressor.
These components are installed on a common shaft and form the rotor (see Figure 1).
The exhaust gases of the internal combustion engine flow through the turbine casing (10) and
the nozzle ring (09) onto the turbine (07). The turbine (07) uses the energy contained in the
exhaust gas to drive the rotor and, hence, the compressor wheel (13). The exhaust gases
then reach the atmosphere through the exhaust gas pipe connected to the gas outlet flange
(08).
The compressor wheel (13) sucks fresh air through the air suction branch or the filter silencer
(01). In the compressor wheel (13), the energy required for building up the pressure is trans-
ferred to the air. By flowing through the diffuser (03) and the compressor casing (02), the air is
compressed further and is then directed to the engine cylinders.
The rotor runs in two radial plain bearings (06) which are located in the bearing casing (04)
between compressor and turbine. The axial thrust bearing (05) is located between the two
radial plain bearings.
The plain bearings are connected to a central lubricating oil duct which is normally supplied by
the lubricating oil circuit of the engine. The oil outlet always lies at the deepest point of the
bearing casing (04).
Turbocharger version with compressor wheel cooling
Figure 2: Compressor wheel cooling
Depending on the application of an A100 radial turbocharger, the turbocharger is equipped

with compressor wheel cooling. With compressor wheel cooling, after the compressor air has
cooled down by passing through the charge air cooler on the engine side, it is supplied to the
turbocharger for cooling the compressor wheel. Cooling of the compressor wheel is compulso-
ry to ensure the reliability and replacement intervals for the relevant operating conditions. In
the turbocharger version with compressor wheel cooling, the cooling air is supplied through a
lateral connection in the bearing casing (01).
In addition, the turbocharger version with compressor wheel cooling is indicated by the turbo-
charger type (M6..) on the rating plate.
1.5 Warning plates on the turbocharger

Warning plates are attached at the following locations:
Figure 3: Warning plate locations
If warning plates are not present in the designated locations or not readable, proceed as fol-
lows:
 Order new warning plates from ABB Turbocharging Service Stations.

 Remove any warning plates that have become unreadable.
 Clean and degrease the areas designated for the warning plates.
 Fit new warning plates and remove protective sheets.
Turbochargers supplied to the enginebuilder without insulation must be fitted later with warn-
ing plates to be attached to the insulation. This is the responsibility of the enginebuilder.
1.6 Locations of the rating plates
Figure 4: Locations of the rating plates
One rating plate (01) each is attached on the left and the right side of the turbocharger bearing
casing.

 Treat the stud (02) and nut with penetrating oil on the thread and let it work in.
 If present: Disconnect the plug to the speed sensor (86505) and secure the rolled-up cable
on the turbocharger. This protects the plug from being crushed.
 If present: Loosen support (61301) from engine support and remove.
Safeguard against wrong fitting (only for water-cooled bearing casings)

Depending on the bracket version (04), two positioning pins (05) can be
used for positioning and safeguarding against wrong fitting of the turbo-
NOTICE
charger. Therefore the turbocharger must always be removed from and in-
stalled on the bracket vertically.
Gas outlet casing (51100)

The gas outlet casing (51100) can remain fitted in the exhaust gas pipe if the
locking nuts are accessible. Otherwise the complete turbocharger unit in-
NOTICE
cluding gas outlet casing must be removed.
Version with water cooling
Freezing of the cooling water in the bearing casing

If cooling water freezes in the bearing casing, this can lead to severe dam-
age.
CAUTION
 For transport and storage of the turbocharger, drain the cooling water
from the bearing casing via one of the two bottom openings of the water
connections.
2.2.1 Fastening of the turbocharger
Depending on the type and version, the turbocharger can be fastened in different ways. The
appropriate procedure must be chosen to undo the connection.
Oil-cooled bearing casing (A)
 Attach lifting gear to the suspension eye.

 Loosen and remove nuts (E).
Water-cooled bearing casing (B)
 Loosen and remove water connections. Close the openings of the water connections with
screw plugs.
 Attach lifting gear to the suspension eye.
 Loosen and remove nuts (E).
Hydraulic loosening (round special nut)
If the turbocharger was fitted by the enginebuilder with a hydraulic tool, removal is also only
possible with a hydraulic tool (see instructions of the enginebuilder).
 Remove the turbocharger.

 Cover the oil connections (03) at the engine side to protect against contamination.
2.2.2 Loosening the clamping nut
Incorrect procedure can make loosening impossible

Never relieve individual pressure screws completely. If this procedure is not
complied with, the pressure screws can get compressed, thus making it im-
CAUTION
possible to loosen them.
 Comply with the following steps for loosening the pressure screws.
Do not clean pressure screws

The pressure screws are equipped with a permanent sliding layer that must
not be removed.
CAUTION
Do neither clean nor lubricate the pressure screws. In case of non-
compliance, it cannot be ensured that the necessary tension force is
reached.
 Do not clean pressure screws.
 Do not lubricate pressure screws.
Figure 7: Loosening the clamping nut
 Working in a circle, break loose all pressure screws of the clamping nut.
 Working in a circle, loosen each of the pressure screws by about ¼ of a turn (90°).
 Repeat the previous step until all pressure screws are relieved of pressure.
 Loosen clamping nut by hand.
2.2.3 Positioning the turbocharger for storage
Risk of tipping
If the turbocharger is not positioned stably, it may tip over and cause per-
sonal injury.
WARNING
 Place the turbocharger on a clean, level support.
 Secure the turbocharger to prevent it from tipping over by using wooden
beams and wedges and by taking the centre of gravity into account.

4.3.3 Speed differences with several turbochargers per engine
The speeds of all turbochargers on an engine vary only slightly from each other in standard
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 admissible difference range is exceeded, the following steps must be performed:
 Reduce the engine performance immediately to the point at which the maximum speed of
all turbochargers does not exceed 70% of nBmax.
 If the engine cannot be stopped, it can continue to be driven at this reduced engine load or
turbocharger speed.
 If a turbocharger surges continuously, the engine performance must be reduced further.
 Measure the temperatures in the air lines and exhaust gas pipes from and to the turbo-
chargers and compare with normal values.
 Check the pressure loss of the alternative air inlet and compare it with normal values.
If the engine can be stopped temporarily:
 Inspect air lines, exhaust gas pipes and the turbochargers and remedy any malfunctions.
 ABB Turbo Systems recommends contacting the nearest ABB Turbocharging Service Sta-
tion.

5.2 Service work

Service work includes visual inspections, monitoring, measuring and inspection work as well
as function checks. Service work enables to detect and rectify changes to the turbocharger
and ensures full operability of the turbocharger.
Service intervals
Service work on the turbocharger that are omitted or performed too late can
cause excessive contamination, wear and operating failures.
CAUTION
 Carry out the service work at the specified time intervals.
Shortened service intervals

Exceptional stresses such as several starts/stops per day, harsh environ-
mental conditions, poor fuel quality or high system vibrations can lead to un-
CAUTION
timely machine damage even if the prescribed service intervals are ob-
served.
 Agree on a shortened service interval with ABB Turbo Systems.
5-year service inspection

To prevent machine damage caused by ageing and downtime, we recom-
mend having an inspection carried out by an ABB Turbocharger Service Sta-
NOTICE
tion no later than 5 years after the last service.
5.2.1 Service procedures every 25 … 50 hours
Unknown operational changes

Impairment to the degree of a possible operating failure can be the conse-
quence.
CAUTION
 Get an ABB Turbocharging Service Station to clarify unknown causes.
 Visual inspection for air, exhaust gas, water and oil leaks.
 Record operating data and enter it in the engine logbook.
 Clarify the cause of any variances.
5.2.2 Service work at 100 hours after commissioning
 Clean or replace the oil filter located in the supply pipe to the turbocharger while the en-
gine is stopped.
5.2.3 Service work according to instructions of enginebuilder
 Clean or replace the oil filter located in the supply pipe to the turbocharger while the en-
gine is stopped.
5.2.4 Service work according to data on the rating plate
(Usually after 8000 … 12000 operating hours)
The rotor and bearing parts must be checked and assessed by an ABB Turbocharging Service
Station. The following work can be carried out as preparation.
 Remove the turbocharger from the engine and disassemble according to chapter Disas-
sembly and assembly. Measure clearances.
 Clean nozzle ring, turbine casing, and compressor casing, and check for cracks and ero-
sion/corrosion.
5.2.5 Other service work
If a protective grid is installed in the gas outlet casing (61001) by ABB Turbo Systems:
Figure 21: Replacing the protective grid
 Remove the protective grid (61205) after 50000 hours and replace it with a new protective
grid.
5.2.6 Entries in the engine logbook
The monitoring of the engine system enables conclusions to be drawn on the behaviour of the
turbocharger.
The following operating data and measured values must be entered regularly in the engine
logbook of the enginebuilder:
 Rating and speed of the engine

 Air intake temperature
 Pressure of the charge air
 Pressure loss in the charge-air cooler
 Lubricating oil pressure and lubricating oil temperature
If present:
 Speed of the turbocharger

 Air temperature after the compressor and after the charge-air cooler
 Exhaust gas temperature before and after the turbine
 Pressure loss in the filter silencer.
5.3 Expected replacement intervals
Rotating components
The recommended replacement intervals for compressor and turbine wheels are specified
based on the safety concept for rotating parts (SIKO) and dependent on the operating condi-
tions. These intervals are shown on the rating plate of the turbocharger.
Non-rotating components
Depending on the system-specific operating conditions, a differentiation must be made be-

tween the intervals to be expected for:
 replacing the bearing parts and

 replacing the non-rotating components exposed to hot gas.
A decisive role is played by various influencing parameters which, in extreme cases, can dras-
tically shorten the replacement interval of these parts.
During the prescribed periodic service work, the individual parts are examined for wear and
replaced if necessary.

Influencing parameters
The specified values are guideline values and are not guaranteed. The actual values can de-
viate considerably from the guideline values, for example, due to the following influences:
 Fuel quality and fuel treatment

 Load profile (thermal cycling, also number of starts/stops, emergency shutdowns, operat-
ing point)
 Gas inlet temperature
 Frequency and execution of cleaning process during operation
 Turbocharger specification.
 System-specific operating conditions (combustion quality, exhaust gas composition)
For bearing parts
 Lubricating oil quality (oil filtering, oil condition, oil monitoring)

 Load profile (speed, pressure conditions, temperature)
 Number of starts/stops
 Unbalance of the rotor (degree of contamination).
5.4 Stopping the engine
Residual heat in the turbocharger

If the residual heat in the turbocharger is not adequately dissipated, it may
damage the engine.
CAUTION
 Adequate cooling of the turbocharger must be ensured after stopping the
engine.
 Run the engine for 5 ... 10 minutes at idling speed before stopping it.
 Observe the oil pressure specified for engine idling (see Table 6).
 Post-lubricate water-cooled bearing casings until the rotors come to a standstill. Deactivate
post-lubrication as soon as the rotor comes to a standstill. Deviating procedures must be
coordinated with ABB Turbo Systems.
 For oil-cooled bearing casings, post-lubricate for 20 minutes if the turbine inlet temperature
(tTE) exceeds the following values when the engine is stopped:
– 550 °C with insulated casing
– 600 °C with non-insulated casing
At temperatures below the specified values, post-lubrication must be ensured until the ro-
tors come to a standstill. ABB Turbo Systems recommends post-lubrication for 10 minutes.
 Observe the oil pressure specified for post-lubrication (see Table 6).

6 Periodic maintenance work

6.1 Foreword to maintenance
Maintenance work includes regular visual controls and cleaning operations which are intended
to ensure the trouble-free functioning of the turbocharger.
Cleaning method
To allow you to observe the standard service intervals and to maintain a high
turbocharger efficiency, ABB Turbo Systems recommends that the cleaning
NOTICE
procedure be carried out during operation. This allows the thermal load of
the engine to be kept low while ensuring maximum fuel efficiency.
Maintenance interval Maintenance work Operating status

Turbo Systems.
2)ABB Turbo Systems recommends having mechanical cleaning carried out by an ABB
Turbocharging Service Station during the service work. Otherwise, only carry out mechanical
cleaning if cleaning during operation is not sufficient to achieve the thermal load and the rating
of the engine.
6.2 Cleaning the compressor during operation
6.2.1 Introduction
Approval by enginebuilder
These instructions for wet cleaning only apply to cleaning with pure water and under the pre-
condition that the enginebuilder approves the process.
Options and limits
Periodic cleaning during operation delays any major increase in contamination. The cleaning
method is suitable as long as the contamination has not progressed far. Very heavily contami-
nated components can no longer be cleaned using this method. In this case, ABB Turbo Sys-
tems recommends having the contaminated components cleaned mechanically by an ABB
Turbocharging Service Station.
Periodic cleaning during operation does not replace the service work where the turbocharger
is completely dismantled and serviced by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station.
Causes and results of contamination
Contamination of the compressor stage depends on the degree of purity of the sucked-in air.
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

 Increased exhaust gas temperatures
 Increased fuel consumption
 Increased rotor unbalance
6.2.2 Cleaning interval
The time period between the periodical cleaning cycles depends greatly on the operating con-
ditions. Cleaning should normally be done every 24 ... 72 hours of operation.
If the specified cleaning intervals are incompatible with operation of the engine, contact ABB
Turbo Systems.
6.2.3 Cleaning method
Cleaning method and operating state
The compressor is cleaned during operation using the wet cleaning method. It is carried out at
an engine load of 50 ... 85 %.
This cleaning method has been tested and approved 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 turbo-
charger.
Sequential charging
With sequential charging, it must be made sure especially after operating periods in the lower
range of performance that both turbocharger compressors are cleaned.
6.2.4 Function and safety of wet cleaning
Volume of water
Uncontrolled volumes of water can damage the turbocharger and the en-
gine.
CAUTION
 Never connect injection tubes directly to a water pipe or a larger metering
container other than that specified by ABB Turbo Systems.
Danger due to pressure vessels

Personal injury can occur if the locally applicable legal regulations on periodic
inspections of the pressure vessels are not complied with.
WARNING
 The locally applicable legal regulations regarding periodic checks of the
pressure vessels must be observed.
 Do not use pressure vessels that are defective.
Corrosion and deposits when cleaning

Salt water and cooling water treatment substances damage and adversely
affect turbocharger parts.
CAUTION
 Never use salt water, but only pure water for cleaning.

02 Pressurized air inlet pipe
03 Valve activator
Pressurized air from the compressor casing (72000) of the turbocharger passes through the
pipe (02) to the water pressure vessel (27000). As soon as the valve activator (03) is activated,
water is pressed into the pipe (01) and routed to the filter silencer or air suction branch.
The water does not act as a solvent. The coating is removed by the mechanical action of the
impacting droplets.

 Fill container with 0.4 dm3 of pure water.
 Screw in sealing plug (27005) again.
 Push the valve activator (03) against the spring and hold for 10 … 15 seconds until the
entire volume of water is injected.
 Continue to operate the engine for at least five minutes to ensure that all of the water is
flushed out of the system.
Not more than three cleaning cycles should be conducted consecutively. Before repeating the
process, continue to operate the engine for at least five minutes to ensure that all of the water
is flushed out of the system.
6.3 Cleaning the turbine during operation
6.3.1 Introduction
Approval by enginebuilder
These instructions for wet cleaning only apply to cleaning with pure water and under the pre-
condition that the enginebuilder approves the process.
Options and limits
Periodic cleaning during operation delays any major increase in contamination. The cleaning
method is suitable as long as the contamination has not progressed far. Very heavily contami-
nated components can no longer be cleaned using this method. In this case, ABB Turbo Sys-
tems recommends having the contaminated components cleaned mechanically by an ABB
Periodic cleaning during operation does not replace the service work where the turbocharger
is completely dismantled and serviced by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station.
Cause and consequences of contamination
ABB Turbo Systems recommends the use of fuels with low ash, sulphur, sodium and vanadi-
um contents.
The combustion of heavy fuel oil (HFO) in diesel engines causes contamination of the turbine
stage. Poor quality fuel in conjunction with high exhaust gas temperatures can lead to ex-
tremely hard deposits on turbine components.
Consequences of contamination:
 Low turbine efficiency

 Elevated exhaust gas temperatures
 Increased charging and ignition pressures with increasing turbocharger speed
 Lower engine performance.
 After the engine is stopped the rotor may become stuck in contamination deposits.
6.3.2 Cleaning interval
The time period between the periodical cleaning cycles depends greatly on the operating con-
ditions. Cleaning should normally be done every 50 to 200 hours of operation.
If the specified cleaning intervals are incompatible with operation of the engine, contact ABB
Turbo Systems.
6.3.3 Cleaning method
The turbine components are cleaned during operation using the wet cleaning method. This
cleaning method is tested and approved by ABB Turbo Systems.
The precondition for wet cleaning is that the enginebuilder approves the process and these
regulations are observed.
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 turbo-
charger.
6.3.4 Function and safety of wet cleaning
Cleaning process with multiple short injection periods

A turbine cleaning procedure with multiple short injection periods is recom-
mended only under certain circumstances. If such a procedure is to be used,
CAUTION
this must be coordinated with ABB Turbo Systems.
 Contact ABB Turbo Systems.
Corrosion and deposits when cleaning

Salt water and cooling water treatment substances damage and adversely
affect turbocharger parts.
CAUTION
 Never use salt water, but only pure water for cleaning.
To clean the turbine stage during operation, water is injected before the nozzle ring. Based on
an injection phase of 10 minutes, this cleaning procedure uses the principle of water solubility
of dirt deposits.
To prevent corrosion of the inside surfaces of the casings, the engine must be continued to be
operated for 10 minutes after a wet cleaning. The exhaust gas temperature after the turbo-
charger can drop by up to 180 °C during cleaning.

nents and can cause flooding of the turbine.
 It is imperative that turbine cleaning parameters are observed.
Maximum temperature at turbine inlet during cleaning

During cleaning, the temperature at the turbine inlet will rise and may strain
the material significantly.
CAUTION
 Make sure the maximum temperature at the turbine inlet is not exceeded
during cleaning.

6.4.1 Preparation
Risk of damage during mechanical cleaning

If mechanical cleaning is carried out too often, this can lead to damage and
corrosion on the components.
CAUTION
 Perform mechanical cleaning, especially of the cartridge group, only once
within the service interval.
Selection of cleaning tools

Turbocharger components are sensitive and easily sustain mechanical dam-
age. The use of needle descalers (for example) or other striking tools dam-
CAUTION
ages the components. Depending on the specification, nozzle rings or tur-
bine casings may have protective coatings which can also be damaged.
 Use only soft tools such as rags, brushes or wire brushes.
 In case of heavy contamination, the cleaning methods described in this
chapter (such as soaking, for example) can be repeated until a satisfacto-
ry result is achieved.
Disassembly and assembly

Disassembly and assembly of the parts is described in the chapter entitled
Dismantling and fitting [➙ 73].

9 Taking out of operation at short notice

9.1 Possible emergency repairs
Danger of fire and explosion due to lubricating oil leaks

Leaking oil may ignite on hot surfaces. This can cause severe personal
injury or fatal accidents can result.
WARNING
 Cordon off danger area.
 Sound an alarm and depending on the situation, stop the engine.
 Seal oil leaks.
 Soak up oil and dispose of in an environmentally compatible manner.
Directives for taking out of operation

Serious damage to engine or property can be caused by non-compliance
with the directives for blanking the turbocharger off the engine.
CAUTION
 Follow the directives of the enginebuilder.
If the engine has to be operated again as quickly as possible following a turbocharger defect,
then the following options are available for emergency repairs:
 If present: Installing a replacement turbocharger [➙ 104].

 If present: Installing a replacement cartridge group [➙ 104].
 If a replacement turbocharger or cartridge group is not available: Fit cover plate [➙ 105]
and contact an ABB Turbocharging Service Station.
 Observe the following sections in connection with the emergency repairs mentioned.
9.2 Installing a replacement turbocharger
Quick recommissioning
In order to quickly put an engine back into operation after a turbocharger has
sustained damage, ABB Turbo Systems recommends having a replacement
NOTICE
turbocharger available in storage (see the chapter entitled "Storage of new
turbochargers and spare parts"). The defective turbocharger can be re-
moved and the replacement turbocharger installed within a short period of
time.

 Send the defective turbocharger to an ABB Turbocharging Service Station for inspection
and repair.
9.3 Installing a replacement cartridge group
Incorrect handling of a cartridge group

Incorrect handling of a cartridge group can damage the turbocharger and
cause injuries to persons.
WARNING
 Have repairs to the cartridge group carried out by an ABB Turbocharging
Service Station only.
Quick recommissioning
In order to quickly put an engine back into operation after a turbocharger has
sustained damage, ABB Turbo Systems recommends having a replacement
NOTICE
cartridge group available in storage (see the chapter entitled "Storage of new
turbochargers and spare parts"). The defective cartridge group can be re-
moved and the replacement cartridge group installed within a short period of
time. A replacement cartridge group is ready for use immediately and in-
cludes the complete bearing casing with bearing and a balanced rotor.
The repair of a cartridge group requires special tools and the expertise of an ABB Turbocharg-
ing Service Station. The rotating parts turn very fast and are very sensitive to unbalance.
 Remove defective cartridge group (see chapter Dismantling and fitting [➙ 73]).
 Install replacement cartridge group (see chapter Dismantling and fitting [➙ 73]).
 Send the defective cartridge group to an ABB Turbocharging Service Station for inspection
and repair.

10 Mothballing the turbocharger

10.1 Taking the engine out of operation for up to
12 months
Condition of engine lubricating oil
The turbocharger normally remains mounted on the engine. Mothballing a turbocharger de-
pends on the condition of the lubricating oil. No measures are necessary under the following
conditions:
 Total acid number (TAN) < 2 mg KOH/g

 The engine lubricating oil is replaced by preserving oil before decommissioning and circu-
lated by the pre-lubrication pump. Any remaining old engine oil will therefore be flushed
away and the bearing sections largely protected against corrosion.
Mothballing measures

WARNING
ty data sheet.
If the total acid number (TAN) is greater than 2 mg KOH/g, the following mothballing measures
are necessary after taking an engine out of operation:
 Dismantle the turbocharger.

 The rotor and the bearing parts must be removed by an official ABB Turbocharging service
station and refitted afterwards.
 Clean all parts.
 Machined, bright surfaces of steel and cast parts must be oiled with anticorrosive oil.
 Reassemble complete turbocharger.
10 Mothballing the turbocharger Page 108 / 117
Rotor turning in stack draught
If the rotor turns as a result of the stack draught:
 Install blind flange between compressor casing outlet flange and charge air duct.
10.2 Taking the engine out of operation for more than

12 months
If the engine is taken out of operation, the following variants are possible with regard to the
turbocharger:
 Turbocharger remains attached to the engine

 The casings of the turbocharger remain attached to the engine, the rotor and bearing parts
are dismantled by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station and stored separately
 The turbocharger has been completely removed, either as a whole unit or in individual
parts
For the measures always necessary for preparing the turbocharger parts for mothballing, see
section Taking out of operation for up to 12 months, subsection Preparations for mothballing.
If the turbocharger remains attached to the engine, see section Taking out of operation for up
to 12 months, subsection Rotation of the rotor in the stack draught.
If the complete turbocharger is removed or the turbocharger is fitted again from the individual
parts:
 Seal all openings of the turbocharger with paraffin paper and wooden lids.
Only dry rooms with 40 ... 70 % atmospheric humidity, in which no water condensation can
form, are suitable as storage locations.
State of the mothballed turbocharger
 Check the turbocharger parts annually for corrosion.

 If there are signs of rust: Thoroughly clean parts and renew corrosion protection.

Handling damaged thermal insulation

Damaged thermal insulation can lead to dust exposure. The glass fibres can
cause mechanical irritation of the eyes, skin, and respiratory tracts.
WARNING
 Avoid the formation of dust.
 Vacuum up dust with a suitable vacuum cleaner.
 Wear a respiratory mask to protect against particles (P1 or P2 mask).
 Wear work gloves made of leather.
Disposal must be environmentally compatible, professional, and in compliance with locally

applicable regulations.
The turbocharger consists largely of metal (cast iron materials, steel, nickel-steel alloys, alu-
minium and bearing brass).
Further components are: Non-metallic materials (filter components of felt and polyethylene),
lubricants (engine oil), electronic parts (speed sensor and associated components), and ther-
mal insulation.
 Dispose of metals as scrap metal for recycling.

 Dispose of non-metallic materials as waste.
 Dispose of residues of lubricants as waste oil.
 Dispose of electronic components as electronic waste.
 Dispose of thermal insulation as hazardous waste.
