high temperatures and high speed lower the life of components.
This operation manual belongs to the turbocharger with the identical HT
number (01), see the cover sheet of the operation manual and the turbocharger rating plate.
This Operation Manual enables you to familiarize yourself with the turbocharger supplied by ABB Turbo Systems and to use it as intended.
It provides important information in order that the turbocharger can be operated safely, correctly and efficiently.
This Operation Manual complements and expands existing national regulations concerning work safety and accident prevention.
This Operation Manual is intended for engineers and qualified mechanics
who are responsible for operating the engine and the turbocharger installed on it.
An operation manual must be available at all times at the place where the
turbocharger is used.
Everyone who operates or works on the turbocharger must have first read
and understood the operation manual.
The turbocharger is a turbomachine consisting of the following main components:
Turbine
September 2016 HZTL2410_EN Revision E
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).
