Hazards due to noise
The generation of noise during operation is influenced by the installation
and operating conditions. Noise with a level exceeding 85 dB(A) is
harmful.
WARNING
Hazards due to noise
Noise can cause impaired hearing, damage to health, mental
disturbances, irritation and diminished attention.
Always wear ear protection when the engine is running.
When the noise 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.
WARNING
Risk of burning
Touching hot surfaces or contact with hot operating materials can lead
to serious burns.
Do not touch hot surfaces and heed the warning plate on the
turbocharger.
Wear heat-resistant safety gloves and protective clothing.
Allow the turbocharger to cool down before carrying out any work.
Wear safety gloves against thermal risks.
WARNING
Hot surfaces on uninsulated turbochargers
Uninsulated turbochargers can cause serious personal injuries (burns).
The turbocharger is supplied by ABB Turbo Systems without insulation
depending on the order from the engine builder. In this case, the engine
builder is responsible for insulating the turbocharger properly or for
providing protection against hot surfaces being touched.
The engine builder's instructions and specifications about protection
against hot turbocharger surfaces must be observed in every case.
