Revision D
June 2017
State of the art
The turbocharger is designed and manufactured according to the state of the art and is safe
to operate.
Perfect condition
The turbocharger must only be used when it is in a technically flawless condition and oper-
ated in compliance with its intended use.
ABB excludes any liability for damage resulting from unauthorized modifications to the tur-
bocharger or improper operation.
1.6
Deflagration on gas engines
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. An ABB Turbocharging Service Station should be instructed to carry
out this inspection.
