Mode of operation
The turbocharger is a turbomachine consisting of the following main com-
ponents:
Turbine
Compressor
These are mounted on a common shaft.
Exhaust gases from the diesel or gas engine flow through the turbine cas-
ing (10) and the nozzle ring (9) to impinge on the turbine (7).
The turbine (7) uses the energy contained in the exhaust gas to drive the
compressor wheel (13). The compressor draws in fresh air, compresses it
and then forces it into the engine's cylinders.
The exhaust gases escape into the ambient air through the exhaust gas
pipe, which is connected to the gas outlet flange (8).
The air, which is necessary for operation of the diesel or gas engine and
is compressed in the turbocharger, is drawn into the compressor wheel
(13) through the suction branch or filter silencer (1). It then passes
through the diffuser (3) and leaves the turbocharger through the outlet on
the compressor casing (2).
The rotor runs in two radial plain bearings (6), which are located in the
bearing flanges (11/12) between the compressor and the turbine. The axi-
al thrust bearing (5) is located between the two radial plain bearings.
The bearings are connected to a central lubricating oil duct which is sup-
plied by the engine's lubricating oil circuit. The oil outlet is always at the
lowest point of the bearing casing (4).

ABB turbochargers can tolerate a deflagration with a transient pressure
increase of 12 bar.
After a deflagration event ABB Turbo Systems recommends verifying the
following points on the turbocharger:
Position of the turbine and compressor casings to the bearing casing
Shifting of the bearing casing in relation to the bracket
Cracks in casings
If during external inspection anomalies are found or if a particularly strong
deflagration event has taken place, it is also recommended to check the
bearings of the turbochargers before the next start. This inspection and
evaluation must be carried out by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station.

3.1 Oil supply
3.1
A carefully designed and installed oil supply, which functions in all possi-
ble operational conditions, is an important prerequisite for trouble-free tur-
bocharger operation.
The turbocharger is normally lubricated with oil from the engine oil circuit.
If a separate lubricating system is used, then emergency lubrication is al-
so to be provided.
Heed the instructions of the engine builder when selecting the lubricat-
ing oil and oil-change intervals.
Oil filtration
Depending on the turbine specifications and bearings used, varying
amounts of contaminants have to be filtered out of the lubricating oil to
avoid dangerous wear of the bearing parts.
CAUTION
The standard oil filter specification for the turbocharger is 34 µm. This
means that contaminants larger than 0.034 mm must be filtered out of the
oil with a separation efficiency > 99%.
Fit an accessory filter if engine oil filter is not efficient enough.
If the engine is started cold and the flow resistance rises to above 0.5
bar due to deposits of dirt in the accessory filter, a bypass must open
which ensures that oil flows to the turbocharger by circumventing the
filter.
Check that oil filters are clean before commissioning.
Also follow the enginebuilder's instructions regarding filter mesh and
separation efficiency.

4.4.1 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 turbo-
charger 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 tur-
bochargers 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
any problems.
In any event, it is recommended that you contact the nearest ABB
Turbocharging Service Station.

5.1 Foreword to Maintenance
5.1
General maintenance work involves regular visual checks and cleaning
tasks which are intended to ensure the trouble-free functioning of the tur-
bocharger.
The maintenance points described here are differentiated as follows:
Cleaning during operation:
– Compressor
– Turbine and nozzle ring.
Mechanical cleaning of individual components:
– Filter silencer
– Casings, diffuser, nozzle ring
– Cartridge group: Compressor, turbine
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
If cleaning during operation is not sufficient to achieve acceptable
values regarding thermal load and engine performance, mechanical
cleaning of certain spots can be carried out.
Perform mechanical cleaning, especially of the cartridge group, only
once within the service interval.
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 procedure be carried out during operation. This allows the
thermal load of the engine to be kept low while ensuring maximum fuel
efficiency.
NOTICE
Dispose of dirty water and cleaning agents in an environmentally com-
patible manner, professionally and in accordance with valid local regu-
lations.

5.2 Cleaning the compressor during operation
5.2
General
The contamination of the compressor stage (compressor wheel, wall in-
sert and diffuser) depends on the degree of purity of the taken-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
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. But it never replaces the regular
service work where the turbocharger is completely dismantled and the
compressor is mechanically cleaned.
If the coating of dirt is very thick and hard, the compressor can only be
cleaned manually when disassembled. This cleaning must be carried
out by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station.
NOTICE
Cleaning interval
The interval between periodic cleaning is very dependent on the operating
conditions. In general, cleaning should be carried out every 25 ... 100 op-
erating hours.
Should the specified cleaning intervals prove incompatible with engine
operation, please contact ABB Turbo Systems.

Maintenance
Cleaning the compressor during

5.2
Page 57
Cleaning method
Cleaning the compressor while in operation is carried out as wet cleaning.
This cleaning method has been tested and approved by ABB Turbo Sys-
tems.
Principle of wet cleaning
To clean the compressor stage during operation, water is injected in front
of the compressor wheel through an injection pipe fitted in the filter silenc-
er 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, provid-
ed that the degree of contamination is not too high.
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.
CAUTION
The injection pipe must on no account be connected directly via a cock
to a water pipe or a dosing vessel larger than the one supplied. This
prevents uncontrolled volumes of water entering the turbocharger and
engine, which can lead to serious damage.
CAUTION
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.
Sequential charging
In the case of sequential charging, care must be taken to ensure that tur-
bocharger compressors are cleaned regularly, especially after periods of
operation in the lower performance range.

5.2.1 Wet cleaning compressor using external water pressure vessel (XC1)
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 ap-
proves the process.
Supplying water from the externally mounted water vessel is suitable
only for those applications where a negative pressure exists in front of
the compressor wheel (not used for: blowers connected in front of the
compressor or high-pressure compressor stages with two-stage charg-
ing).
NOTICE
Operating state prerequisites for cleaning compressor with XC1

tures. If the cleaning process is unsatisfactory, it can be repeated up to
2 times.
If the cleaning result is still not satisfactory after three attempts and the
engine values are also unsatisfactory, we recommend that you have the
turbocharger inspected and cleaned by an official ABB Turbocharging

produces contamination of the turbocharger's turbine components. In
combination with a high exhaust gas temperature, poor quality fuel can
lead to particularly hard deposits on the nozzle ring and especially on the
gas outlet flange.
ABB Turbo Systems recommends using fuels with a low ash, sulphur, so-
dium and vanadium content.
Consequences of contamination:
Poor turbine efficiency
elevated exhaust gas temperatures
higher charging and ignition pressures as turbocharger speed rises
lower engine performance.
After stopping the engine, the rotor can become stuck in contamination
deposits.
Experience with turbocharger operation shows that the intervals between
overhauls can be extended if cleaning while in operation is carried out pe-
riodically. Wet cleaning the turbine, as described below, should be used
for 4-stroke applications when there are heavy deposits from, for example,
HFO.
Under no circumstances is periodic cleaning of the turbine during opera-
tion a substitute for the service work carried out when the turbocharger is
completely dismantled and cleaned mechanically.
Turbines which are very heavily contaminated cannot be cleaned this way
any longer. In this case, the contaminated components must be mechani-
cally cleaned by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station.
Regular cleaning
Regular turbine cleaning during operation prevents or delays excessive
build-up of contamination.

Cleaning intervals
The interval between periodic cleaning is very dependent on the operating
conditions. In general, cleaning should be carried out every 50 to 200 op-
erating hours.
Cleaning intervals
Should the specified cleaning intervals prove incompatible with engine
operation, please contact ABB Turbo Systems.
NOTICE
Cleaning method
Turbine components are cleaned during operation using the wet cleaning
processes described in the following. These have been tested and are
approved by ABB Turbo Systems.
The turbine casing design and the type of turbine casing sealing are deci-
sive for the choice of cleaning method.
Approval by engine manufacturer
The prerequisite for wet cleaning is that the engine manufacturer ap-
proves the method and his instructions are followed.

5.3.1 Wet cleaning methods
Process with short water injection time (3 x 30 seconds cleaning)
The cleaning process with short water injection time is used for turbo-
charger designs without additional sealing by means of C-rings.
The process is based on the principle of thermal shock in combination
with a subsequent flushing phase.
Process with long water injection time (10 minutes cleaning)
The cleaning process with a long water injection time is used for turbo-
charger designs with additional sealing by means of C-rings.
Based on a 10-minute injection phase, this cleaning process utilises the
water solubility of the dirty deposits.
Choice of cleaning method
If you need information about the choice of cleaning method (short /
long), you can contact the engine builder or an official ABB Turbo-
charger service station.

5.3.2 Prerequisites
Risk of corrosion and deposits
Impairment and damage of turbocharger by salt water and cooling wa-
ter additives in flow ducts
CAUTION
Don't use salt water for cleaning, but only clean fresh water.
Avoid corrosion on casing inner surfaces.
Let engine run for 10 minutes after wet cleaning.
Maximum temperature in front of turbine during cleaning
When cleaning, the temperature in front of the turbine will rise and can
heavily stress the material of turbine components. The temperature at
the turbine inlet can be up to 100 °C higher than the exhaust gas tem-
perature after the cylinder. This should be taken into consideration
when setting the operating point before cleaning.
CAUTION
Don't exceed maximum temperature in front of turbine when cleaning.
Impermissible thermal stressing and flooding of the turbine
Smaller volumes of water can result in poor cleaning. Larger volumes of
water lead to impermissible thermal stressing of the turbine compo-
nents and can cause flooding of the turbine.
CAUTION
Be absolutely sure to observe turbine cleaning parameters.
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.

5.4.1 Introduction
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 and turbine
casings have protective coatings, which can also be damaged.
CAUTION
Only use soft tools such as cloths, brushes or wire brushes.
In the event of heavy contamination, the cleaning methods that have
been described such as soaking can be repeated until a satisfactory
result has been achieved.
Dispose of dirty water and cleaning agents in an environmentally com-
patible manner, professionally and in accordance with valid local regu-
lations.
Disassembly and assembly
The disassembly and assembly of the components is described in

Condition of engine lubricating oil
The turbocharger normally remains mounted on the engine. Mothballing a
turbocharger depends on the condition of the lubricating oil:
If the total acid number (TAN) is lower than 2 mg KOH/g, no measures
have to be taken.
If the engine lubricating oil is replaced by preserving oil before taking
the engine out of operation and this is circulated by the pre-lubrication
pump, no measures have to be taken. Any remaining old engine oil will
therefore be flushed away and the bearing sections largely protected
against corrosion.
Mothballing measures
Handling operating materials and supplies
Swallowing or inhaling vapours of operating materials and supplies or
contact with them may be harmful to health.
Do not breathe in these substances and avoid contact with the skin.
WARNING
Ensure proper ventilation.
Observe the information in the material safety data sheet for the op-
erating materials and supplies.
Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) according to the material
safety data sheet.
Comply with local legislation.
Wear safety goggles.
Wear safety gloves to protect against chemical hazards.
Wear a respiratory mask to protect against gases.

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 opera-
tion:
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.
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.

If the engine is taken out of service, the following alternatives are possible
with the turbocharger:
The turbocharger remains mounted on the engine.
The turbocharger casing remains mounted on the engine, but the rotor
and the bearing parts are removed and stored separately by an ABB
Turbocharging Service Station.
The turbocharger is removed completely, either as a whole or in indi-
vidual parts.
See the section Taking out of operation for up to 12 months, under Moth-
balling measures, for the measures always necessary when mothballing
turbocharger parts.
If the turbocharger remains mounted on the engine, refer to the section
Taking out of operation for up to 12 months, under Rotating the rotor in
stack draught.
If the entire turbocharger is removed, or if the turbocharger is re-
assembled from the individual components thereof:
Close all turbocharger openings using wooden covers and paraffin paper.
Suitable storage locations are only dry rooms where the relative humidity
is between 40 … 70 % and no condensation can form.
Condition of the mothballed turbocharger
Check the mothballed turbocharger parts for corrosion once per an-
num.
If there are signs of rust: Clean parts thoroughly and renew protection
against corrosion.

11 Disposing of turbocharger components
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.
Avoid the formation of dust.
WARNING
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.
Wear safety goggles.
Wear a respiratory mask to protect against dusts.
Wear safety gloves to protect against mechanical hazards.
Disposal must be environmentally compatible, professional, and in com-
pliance with locally applicable regulations.
The turbocharger consists largely of metal (cast iron materials, steel,
nickel-steel alloys, aluminium 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 thermal 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.
