State of the art
The turbocharger is designed and built according to the state of the art
and is safe to operate.
Flawless condition
The turbocharger must only be used when it is in a technically flawless
condition and operated in compliance with its intended use.
ABB Turbo Systems excludes any liability for damage resulting from un-
authorized modifications to the turbocharger or improper operation.
Deflagration on gas engines
1.4
ABB turbochargers can tolerate a deflagration with a transient pressure
increase of 12 bar.
ABB Turbo Systems recommends subjecting the turbocharger to a visual
inspection after a deflagration event. As part of the inspection, the position
of the turbine casing and the position of the compressor casing to the
bearing casing must be checked, and the bearing casing must be exam-
ined to see if it has shifted in relation to the bracket. A crack inspection of
the casings and the bellows is also recommended. The nearest ABB Tur-
bocharging Service Station should be instructed to carry out this inspec-
tion and assessment.
