Taking the engine out of operation for more
than 12 months
10.2
If the engine is taken out of service, the following alternatives are possible
with the turbocharger:
The turbocharger remains mounted on the engine.
The turbocharger casing remains mounted on the engine, but the rotor
and the bearing parts are removed and stored separately by an ABB
Turbocharging Service Station.
The turbocharger is removed completely, either as a whole or in indi-
vidual parts.
See the section Taking out of operation for up to 12 months, under Moth-
balling measures, for the measures always necessary when mothballing
turbocharger parts.
If the turbocharger remains mounted on the engine, refer to the section
Taking out of operation for up to 12 months, under Rotating the rotor in
stack draught.
If the entire turbocharger is removed, or if the turbocharger is re-
assembled from the individual components thereof:
Close all turbocharger openings using wooden covers and paraffin pa-
per.
Suitable storage locations are only dry rooms where the relative humidity
is between 40 … 70 % and no condensation can form.
Condition of the mothballed turbocharger
Check the mothballed turbocharger parts for corrosion once per an-
num.
If there are signs of rust: Clean parts thoroughly and renew protection
against corrosion.
