1 Preliminary remarks / 1.2 Layout and function

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.

In view of the respective operating conditions, it is ab-

solutely essential that the compressor wheel is cooled in

order to guarantee its reliability and replacement inter-

vals. In the case of the turbocharger version with com-

pressor 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 Turbo Systems accepts no liability and rejects all warranty claims

for any non-intended uses.

1.7.1 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 n_Bmax, t_Bmaxcan considerably shorten

the recommended replacement intervals. In such cases, we recommend that

you contact the nearest official ABB Turbocharging service station.

n_Mmaxand t_Mmaxnormally apply only when running at overload (110%) during

trials on the engine test bed. These limits can also be permitted during op-

eration for special applications. Operation above n_Mmaxand t_Mmaxis not per-

mitted.

Non-observance of the recommended replacement intervals can increase

the risk of unpredictable component failures.

1.7.2 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-

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 temperat-

ure 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.

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.

5 Maintenance / 5.3 Cleaning the compressor during operation

5.3 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 Turbo Systems.

5 Maintenance / 5.3 Cleaning the compressor during operation

Cleaning method

Cleaning of the compressor during operation is carried out using the

cleaning method described in the following:

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.

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.

Operating state prerequisites for wet cleaning XC2

WARNING

Increased stress on material

During cleaning of the compressor at an engine load of 85 to 100 %, the

stress on the material of the compressor-end turbocharger parts can

be increased.

u No personnel is allowed to be present in the vicinity of the tur-

bocharger during compressor cleaning.

u Compressor cleaning must be activated from the engine control

panel.

Wet cleaning procedure for compressor with XC2

u Trigger water injection according to the specifications of the en-

ginebuilder.

u The specified water pressure upstream of the connection to the tur-

bocharger must be maintained.

u Operate engine for at least five additional minutes after cleaning.

Not more than three cleaning cycles should be conducted consecutively.

5 Maintenance / 5.3 Cleaning the compressor during operation

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.

If the cleaning operation is not satisfactory, it may be repeated up to

two 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 Turbochar-

ging Service Station.
