Operating condition and replacement intervals

The operational limits for the turbocharger nBmax, tBmax, nMmax, tMmax, inspectionand replacement intervals for the components 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 profile, turbine inlet temperature, suction air temperature and turbocharger speed. In case the operation conditions differs significantly from what is considered to be normal for the current 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 consisting of the following main components:

Turbine

Compressor

These are mounted on a common shaft.

Exhaust gases from the diesel or gas engine flow through the turbine casing (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 axial thrust bearing (5) is located between the two radial plain bearings.

The bearings are connected to a central lubricating oil duct which is supplied by the engine's lubricating oil circuit. The oil outlet is always at the lowest point of the bearing casing (4).

2 Safety

2.1 Introduction

Turbochargers manufactured by ABB Turbo Systems are state of the art and comply with the pertinent safety and health-protection requirements that applied when the turbocharger was manufactured. Consequently, the turbocharger is safe to operate. Nevertheless, during turbocharger operation and when working on the turbocharger, residual risks can exist which:

originate from the turbocharger itself and its accessories

originate from the operating and auxiliary materials used

are the consequence of insufficient observance of the safety instructions

are the consequence of unsatisfactory and improper execution of maintenance and inspection work

The operator is responsible for access to the turbocharger as well as the organisational measures which regulate the safe handling of the turbocharger by his personnel.

All instructions in this chapter must be observed to ensure safe and trou- ble-free turbocharger operation and during work on the turbocharger.

In the same vein, all other specially marked safety instructions in every chapter of this manual must be observed (see the section entitled Definition of safety instructions).

Mechanical hazards during operation

During normal operation, no mechanical hazards emanate from the turbocharger if it has been installed properly.

Risk of injury

Contact with rotating parts can lead to serious injuries. The turbocharger must never be operated without a filter silencer or an air suction branch. When the engine is at a standstill, the rotor can turn on its own because of stack draught.

τOperate the turbocharger in accordance with instructions.

τDuring maintenance work, secure the rotor against unintentional rotation.

Mechanical hazards when working on the turbocharger

During maintenance work, various risks can occur through the improper handling of components, through the non-observance of work instructions, due to inadequate care or as a consequence of insufficient training.

Mechanical hazards

Severe injuries to personnel or fatal accidents can be caused by mechanical influences as a consequence of hazardous and inadequate operational procedures.

τObserve the general rules for occupational safety and prevention of accidents.

τEnsure workplace safety.

τOnly perform operations that are described in this document.

τOnly perform operations for which you have previously received instruction or training.

Hazards due to noise

The development of noise during operation is influenced by the installation and operating conditions. Noise with a sound pressure level exceeding

85 dB(A) is harmful.

Hazards due to noise

Noise can cause impaired hearing, damage to health, mental disturb-

ances, diminished attention and irritation.

WARNING

τAlways wear ear protection when the engine is running.

τWhen the sound pressure level is above 85 dB(A), always wear ear protection.

Wear ear protection.

Hazards due to hot surfaces and substances

During operation, turbocharger surfaces and attached parts as well as operating materials (lubricating oil) become hot. The surface temperature is dependent on the effectiveness of the insulation being used. The temperature can become high enough so that it falls into ranges where burns are possible.

Risk of burning

Touching hot surfaces or contact with hot operating materials can lead

to serious burns.

WARNING

τDo not touch hot surfaces and heed the warning plate on the turbocharger.

τWear heat-resistant safety gloves and protective clothing.

τAllow the turbocharger to cool down before carrying out any work.

Wear safety gloves to protect against thermal hazards.

Hot surfaces on the non-insulated turbocharger

WARNING

Non-insulated turbochargers can cause serious injuries to personnel (burns).

The turbocharger is supplied by ABB Turbo Systems without insulation depending on the order 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.

τCompliance with the instructions and specifications given by the enginebuilder to protect against hot turbocharger surfaces is compulsory.

Wear safety gloves to protect against thermal hazards.

Hazards due to operating and auxiliary materials

Operating and auxiliary materials are substances used for operation or the execution of maintenance work. Oils, greases, coolants, cleaning agents and solvents, acids, etc. can be regarded as hazardous materials. Operating and auxiliary materials can be combustible and easily ignited.

Handling operating and auxiliary materials

Ingestion or inhalation of vapours of operating and auxiliary materials or

contact with such can cause damage to health.

WARNING

τAvoid inhalation and contact with the skin.

τEnsure good ventilation.

τObserve details in the safety data sheets of the operating and auxiliary materials.

τObserve local laws.

Wear safety goggles.

Wear safety gloves to protect against chemical hazards.

Wear a respiratory mask to protect against gases.
