Mode of operation

The turbocharger consists of two machines, a turbine and a compressor which are mounted on
a common shaft.

The exhaust gases from the diesel engine flow through the gas inlet casing (9) and nozzle ring
(7) to the turbine wheel.
The turbine (10) uses the energy contained in the exhaust gas to drive the compressor (13),
whereby the compressor draws in fresh air, compresses it before being forced into the cylinders.
The exhaust gases exit the turbocharger via the gas outlet casing (6).
The turbocharger is gastight.

The air which is necessary for the operation of the diesel engine and which is compressed in
the turbocharger, is drawn through the suction branch or the silencer (1) into the compressor
wheel (13). It then passes through the diffuser (12) and leaves the turbocharger through the
volute of the air outlet housing (14).

The rotor runs in two radial plain bearings (3/8) which are located in the bearing bush (5)
between the compressor casing and turbine casing. The axial thrust bearing (4) is on the
compressor side.

The plain bearings are connected to a central lubricating oil feed in which the oil is supplied by
the oil system of the engine. The oil outlet is always at the lowest point of the bearing casing
(11).

The turbocharger is provided with an emergency lubricating oil tank (2). In the event of failure
of the lubricating oil system, this emergency lubrication provides a supply of oil to the bearing
positions until rotor standstill.

1
Oil supply
A carefully designed oil supply, which functions under all operating conditions, is an important
precondition for interference-free operation of the turbocharger.
Lubrication of the TPL turbocharger is normally done with oil from the engine oil circuit. It can,
however, also be provided from a separate lubricating oil system.
The lifetime of the bearings can be increased with a separate lubricating system owing to
reduced oil contamination.

Note The engine manaufacturer's recommen-dation regarding oil selection, and oil change
intervals are to be observed.

1.1
Oil filtration

A lubrication oil filter system with a mesh sizes £ 0.050 mm is adequate for the TPL 73 to TPL 85
turbochargers. However, if a finer filter is used (recommendation: filter out particles larger than
0.034 mm), this is likely to extend the life time of the bearings.
This filter system can also be achieved by using an additional self-cleaning filter.

Note Observe the engine manufacturer's recommendations.

1.2
Oil pressure

The oil pressure before the bearings (measuring point in blind connection) must be exactly
maintained to ensure fault-free operation.

Note Observe the engine manufacturer's recommendations.

Monitoring

2.1
Speed measurement

TPL turbochargers are fitted as standard with a speed transmitter system for measuring the
turbocharger speed. This speed transmitter system, in conjunction with the corresponding
measuring units or monitoring systems (not part of the delivery), permits continuous remote
monitoring of the turbocharger speed. With continuous monitoring of the engine installation, the
turbocharger speed can be used as a suitable control parameter.
The line amplifier can be procured as an additional option to the described of the speed
measuring system.

A reduction in speed of a charger can signify:


- Damaged turbine or bearing
- Severe contamination of turbine

Possible reasons for the breakdown of the speed indicator:


- Defect in speed transmitter, connecting cable and plug to measuring unit, measuring unit or
in power supply.

- Turbocharger damage.

Note If the speed indication fails, it is recommended that the engine output be reduced to
idling speed and the engine stopped. The cause of the failure should then be
determined.

2.2
U-tube manometer

The U-tube manometer measures the vacuum in the silencer and thus provides an indication of
the degree of contamination of the filter material.
Vibration of the U-tube manometer is reduced by the installation of felt discs.
All parts required for assembly are supplied in a separate package.

Caution ! The U-tube manometer must not be exposed to shock or vibration.

For best redability lightly coloured water should befilled into the U-tube.

Under new conditions the pressure loss is £ 120 mmH2O at full load.

The filter should be cleaned at the latest when the pressure loss has reached 200 mmH2O.

2.3
Surging of turbocharger

Surging of the turbocharger can occur with certain engine operating states, such as rapid load
removal or while manoeuvering, particularly with high engine loads. The general direction of
flow in the compressor is then temporarily reversed. Although surging leads to increased load
of individual turbocharger components, sporadic pulses do not generally affect safe operation
of the turbocharger.

Caution ! The following components can be damaged by continuous or periodically recurring


surging:
- compressor wheel (vibration fractures, etc.)
- turbine blades (cracks)
- bearings (overheating)
- filter silencer

Note Action to be taken:


The operating safety of the turbocharger is no longer ensured with continuous or
periodically recurring surging. The operator, together with the next ABB service
station (see chap. 7), must take immediate action to eliminate the surging.
The above mentioned components should be examined for damage and replaced in
case of doubt.

2.4
Contact of rotating parts

Mild, uniform wear around the circumference of rotor components, caused by slight local
grazing against adjacent components, is non-hazardous and permissible. This slightly reduces
the length of the blades in the compressor or turbine. Certain tolerances must be observed to
avoid a significant loss in efficiency.

Note The check on dimensions must be carried out by an official Service Station of ABB
Turbo Systems Ltd.

Cleaning work

Cleaning work includes regular visual checks and washing to ensure the correct functioning of
the turbocharger and its auxiliary appliances.

- The external condition and the degree of contamination of the cleaning points listed below
must be established by visual checks at the intervals quoted.
- During all cleaning work the safety instructions in the respective chapters must be observed.

3.1
Safety instructions

When handling detergents, solvents, acids and alkalis be sure to observe the respective safety
directions on the manufacturer’s label and in the operation manual. Observe also the instructions
for the environmentally compatible collection, storage and disposal of these substances (see
chap. 1).

Warning ! Cleaning work should be carried out outdoors due to explosion hazards. If this is
not possible, ensure that there is adequate ventilation.

Before beginning cleaning work in confined spaces, extinguish naked flame (including
cigarettes!) due to the danger of explosion.

3.4
Cleaning the compressor in operation

Introduction

The dirt in the compressor stage (compressor wheel and diffuser) depends on the cleanness of
the air drawn in and the operating point.
A deposit of dirt in the flow ducts occurs particularly when oil or saline mist, solid combustion
residues and dusts of various kinds are drawn in.
Soiling of the compressor stage has a negative influence on the compressor efficiency and
turbo-charger pressure, particularly for smaller turbochargers.
This results in higher exhaust gas temperatures and increased fuel consumption by the motor.
Contamination of the compressor also increases the rotor unbalance.
Periodic cleaning of the compressor in operation prevents or delays severe increase of soiling,
but this in no way replaces normal overhauls, during which the turbocharger is completely
dismantled.

Principle of cleaning during operation

Water is fed or injected before the compressor wheel via injection pipes fitted in the filter
silencer and suction branch in order to clean the compressor stage in operation.
The water does not act as a solvent in the process, but the coating is removed by the
mechanical impact of the falling drops. The process is ideal, provided the soiling is not too
advanced.
Cleaning is most effective when the engine is fully loaded.
The cleaning installation can be provided in principle in two different ways:
a. Cleaning with the cleaning device on the turbocharger. (only with filter silencer)
b. Cleaning with externally attached water vessel .

ABB 10453_EN
-C-
ABB Turbo Systems Ltd
Turbocharger Operation Manual TPL Chapter 3
Operation and maintenance Page 21

General instructions

If the coating is very thick and hard, the compressor can only be cleaned when dismantled.
Therfore, periodical cleaning of the compressor after commissioning is recommended.

Caution ! Due to the danger of corrosion, only fresh water must be used and on no account
salt water. The water should not contain any cooling additives which could form
deposits in the flow ducts.

The injection pipe must on no account be connected directly via a cock to a water pipe, a larger
dosing or water vessel than available from ABB Turbo Systems. This prevents uncontrolled
volumes of water entering the turbocharger and engine, which can lead to major damage.
The interval between periodic cleanings largely depends on the operating conditions. Cleaning
should normally be performed every 24 operating hours.

ABB Turbo Systems Ltd


10453_EN
-C- ABB
Chapter 3 Turbocharger Operation Manual TPL
Page 22 Operation and maintenance

Procedure for cleaning

Cleaning of the compressor stage must be performed with the engine warm from running and
as fully loaded as possible, i.e. at high turbocharger speed.
The success of the cleaning can be seen from the charger or flushing pressure or from the
exhaust gas temperatures.
If cleaning is unsuccessful, it can be repeated up to 2 times. If the cleaning is still unsuccessful
after three attempts, and if the engine operating values are unsatisfactory, it is recommended
to have the turbocharger checked and cleaned by an authorised ABB Turbo Systems service
department.
After cleaning the compressor stage, the engine must be run on load for at least another 5
minutes.

Note These guidelines apply exclusively to turbocharger cleaning with water, assuming
that the engine manufacturer permits the procedure.
If the cleaning container is used, the detailed cleaning instructions provided on the
plate fitted on the silencer should be followed.

3.5
Cleaning the turbine blades and nozzle ring in operation

Introduction

Combustion of heavy oil in diesel engines causes contamination of the turbine blades and
nozzle rings of the turbochargers.
Contamination increases with time, so that regular and properly performed cleaning is important
to remove the deposits produced.
The frequency of cleaning depends on the degree of contamination of the turbine during a
specific period of operation.
An abnormally high consumption of lubricating oil can similarly increase the volume of ash and
slag.
The exhaust gas temperature after the cylinder can rise and the charging pressure at the air
receiver fall owing to contaminated turbine components. Contamination of the turbine also
results in rotor unbalance. Severe contamination can lead to impermissibly high rotor unbalance.
Experience in operation has shown that despite periodic cleaning during operation it is impossible
to dispense with overhauls in which the turbine and nozzle ring are mechanically cleaned. If
cleaning is performed correctly and the cleaning system is properly dimensioned, however, the
intervals between overhauls can be extended.

Principle of cleaning during operation

Two different processes are used for cleaning the turbine components during operation:
– Wet cleaning of turbine and nozzle ring (section 3.5.1)
– Dry cleaning of turbine and nozzle ring (section 3.5.2)

Note From experience in operation we recommend the use of wet cleaning.

ABB Turbo Systems Ltd


10453_EN
-C- ABB
Chapter 3 Turbocharger Operation Manual TPL
Page 26 Operation and maintenance

3.5.1
Wet cleaning

The following general instructions must be observed together with the “Operating instructions
for the diesel engine”:
– The maximum exhaust gas temperature before the turbine must not exceed 430°C before
cleaning. The turbine inlet temperature may rise to 500°C during cleaning.

Caution The prescribed water injection pressure and the duration of water injection must be
observed without fail.
Smaller volumes of water can lead to an inadequate cleaning effect. Larger volumes
of water result in impermissible thermal stresses and possible turbine touching.
Clean fresh water free from cleaning agents and solvents must be used.

Procedure for cleaning

Note Pay attention to the specifications of the engine manufacturer.

ABB 10453_EN
-C-
ABB Turbo Systems Ltd
Turbocharger Operation Manual TPL Chapter 3
Operation and maintenance Page 27

3.5.2
Dry cleaning

Dry solid matter in granular form is blown by compressed air into the exhaust pipes before the
gas inlet casing. The solid matter has a mechanical cleaning effect and removes deposits on
the turbine and nozzle ring. This method of cleaning should be performed every 24-48 operating
hours on full load. The interval between cleaning operations depends on the degree of
contamination and on the increase of exhaust gas temperature following the turbine. Cleaning
must be repeated if the gas temperature following the turbine rises to 20°C above the mean
temperature on full load. In engines with several turbochargers the turbochargers should be
cleaned in turn.
To prevent excessive combustion of the dry cleaning agent before the turbine, the gas inlet
temperature before the turbine must not exceed < 590 °C).
Since it is not possible to remove thick coatings with relatively small amounts of solid matter,
this method must be used more frequently.
Injection of the granulated dry cleaning agent in the turbine is best performed at high turbocharger
speed to ensure efficient mechanical cleaning.

General instructions

– The gas inlet temperature before the turbine must not exceed < 590 °C (< 863 K).
– The drain openings in the gas outlet casing must remain closed during dry cleaning.
– Care should be taken, since incompletely burnt soot particles can be emitted with the
exhaust gas fumes.

Procedure for cleaning

Note Pay attention to the specifications of the engine manufacturer.

1.1
Blocking rotor
TPL 69 ÷ 85

In emergencies with a damaged turbocharger it can occur that the engine must continue to
operate without or, in applications with several turbochargers, with reduced charging. If the
engine must be returned to service as quickly as possible, the rotor of the damaged turbocharger
can be locked.
If more time is available, it is recommended to dismantle the cartridge group and to fit a cover
plate according to section 1.2.

Caution ! Be careful to observe the manufacturer’s instructions!

The following procedure should be adopted for locking the rotor (refer also to fig. 6-1):

- Remove silencer or air suction branche and internal part of compressor casing with wall
insert (see chap. 5).

- Remove screw plug (25005) (see fig. 6-1).

- Fit assembly-disassembly device (90020).

- Block the rotor with the lock (90480).

Note Cut a thread (M12 or 1/2") in the existing hole to secure the lock with a screw (A).

Caution ! A locked rotor must be dismantled in all cases.

During the operation of the engine with a locked turbocharger rotor, the lubri-cation
system must remain attached and turned on if the gas inlet can not be blocked (see
next section). Otherwise intact components can be damaged by overheating.

Further measures and information for operation with a locked turbo-


charger:

Various cases must be distinguished:


1. 2-stroke engine with one turbocharger:
No further measures are necessary.
The engine can be operated according to the instructions of the manufacturer.

2. 2-stroke engine with several turbochargers:


- The compensator at the compressor outlet must be dismantled and the air duct blocked at
the engine end (undamaged turbochargers develop a receiver pressure!).

- The operating limit of the engine can be raised by additionally blocking the gas inlet. The
loading and temperature of the locked rotor are also reduced.

- If the gas inlet cannot be blocked, the following operating limits apply:
1. The pressure in the charge-air receiver must not exceed 1 bar.
2. Max. permissible engine load: 50%.

- Attention must be paid to the speed of the undamaged turbocharger in all cases. The speed
limit nBmax according to the turbocharger rating plate must not be exceeded.

3. 4-stroke engine with one turbocharger:


No further measures are necessary. The engine can be operated as suction engine according
to the instructions of the manufacturer.

4. 4-stroke engine with two turbochargers:


a) Separate receivers:
No further measures are necessary on engines with separate air and exhaust-gas receivers.
The engine can be operated as a normally aspirated engine according to the instructions of
the manufacturer.

ABB 10456_EN

ABB Turbo Systems Ltd
Turbocharger Operation Manual TPL Chapter 6
Taking out of operation Page 7

b) Common receiver:
- If the engine is provided with a common air receiver and separate exhaust-gas receivers,
the compensator at the compressor outlet of the damaged turbocharger must be dismantled
without fail and the air duct blocked at the engine end. Otherwise the undamaged turbocharger
can spin under no load and reach overspeed.
- More or less powerful pulses from the exhaust-gas system are applied to the locked rotor,
depending on the engine turbocharging system. Particularly with pulse supercharging (turbine
casing with more than one gas inlet) the locking device is then subjected to heavy loading.
The following operating limits should therefore not be exceeded:
1. In systems similar to those with constant pressure (1 gas inlet) the engine can be
operated at up to max. 25% engine load. The pressure in the charge-air receiver must
not exceed 0.9 bar overpressure.
2. With pulse supercharging (2-4 gas inlets) the engine can be operated at up to max. 20%
engine load. The pressure in the charge-air receiver must not exceed 0.5 bar overpressure.

The engine can be operated according to the instructions of the engine manufacturer. However,
attention must, without fail, be paid to the speed of the undamaged turbocharger. The speed
limit nBmax according to the turbocharger rating plate must not be exceeded.

Mothballing the turbocharger

2.1
Taking out of operation
for up to 12 months

If a turbocharger has to be laid up for up to 12 months, the decision whether the turbocharger
needs special protection or not depends mainly on the condition of the lubricating oil before
laying up.
If the Total Acid Number (TAN) is lower than 2 mg KOH/g no special measures need to be
taken. However, if the factor is higher the turbocharger must be dismantled after laying up,
cleaned and protective oil has to be applied on the bright parts.
If the turbocharger is left on the engine, and the engine oil replaced by a protective oil which is
circulated with a prelubrication pump prior to laying up, no mesures need to be taken in respect
of the turbocharger. The remains of the old engine oil will be washed away and the sensitive
bearing parts extensively protected against corrosion.

If the rotor turns due to a draught from the flue, fit a blind flange between the compressor
casing and the charge-air receiver.

2.2
Taking out of operation
for over 12 months

If a charger has to be removed from the engine and stored for any length of time, the
disassembling and mothballing of the turbocharger must be prepaired by an official service
station of ABB Turbo Systems.

Ensure that the room in which the turbocharger is going to be stored is dry and free of
condensation.

Note Check mothballed turbochargers yearly for corrosion.


In the event of rust, clean and renew the corrosion protection.

Shutting down the turbocharger
at short notice

If the diesel engine must be put into operation again as soon as possible in the event of
damage to the turbocharger (emergency repair), the following possibilities are available:
1. The turbocharger rotor can be locked as described in section 1.1.
2. On engines with several turbochargers it is possible (and often simpler) to isolate the
damaged turbocharger according to data from the manufacturer by fitting cover plates in the
compressor outlet, turbine inlet and turbine outlet. In this case it is recommended to shut off
the supply of lubricating oil to the damaged turbocharger.
3. For engines with one turbocharger, a bypass can be fitted around the turbocharger (according
to data of the engine manufacturer) if the relevant connections and pipes are available. In this
case it is recommended to shut off the supply of lubricating oil to the damaged turbocharger.
4. If more time is available, it is recommended to dismantle the cartridge group and fit a cover
plate as described in section 1.2.

Caution! The instructions of the engine manufacturer for operation of the engine with locked
/ shutdown turbocharger must be followed exactly in all cases!

1.1
Locking the rotor

In emergencies with a damaged turbocharger it can occur that the engine must continue to
operate without or, in applications with several turbochargers, with reduced charging. If the
engine must be returned to service as quickly as possible, the rotor of the damaged turbocharger
can be locked.

Caution ! The instructions of the engine manufacturer must be observed!

The following procedure should be adopted for locking the rotor (refer also to fig. 6-1 and 6-2):

- Remove silencer or air suction branch and internal part of compressor casing with wall insert
and diffuser (see chapter 5).

- Fit partition wall clamp (94005) with screws (90442).

- For engines with three or four turbochargers, the balancing screws should be removed from
the compressor wheel concerned, so that the adjustment ring (94004) can be fitted with
maximum compressive force.
For engines with one or two turbochargers, eight screws are sufficient for secure fixing of
the adjustment ring.

+ Fit correct adjustment ring (94004) together with intermediate ring (94031) and locking
flange (94003) on the compressor ring.

Note Various adjustment rings (94004) are provided with the locking device for different
compressor wheels. The designation „CV“ must be noted.
The thread depth is not the same on all compressor wheels. It is recommended to
use screws as long as possible for fixing the adjustment ring 94004. Two different
screw lengths are therefore supplied with the locking device (94007 / 94008).

The space between the lock (94003) and the assembly-disassembly device (90020) must be
compensated by the intermediate rings (94001 and/or 94002) depending on the version of
compressor wheel (see fig. 6-2).

Caution! It must be ensured that all components are clean and free from grease.

- Place the correct intermediate rings (94001 and/or 94002) on the locking flange (94003) and
fit the assembly-disassembly device (90020).

- Insert the remaining intermediate rings (94001 and/or 94002) and fix the locking flange
(94003) with the screws (94006).

Caution! A locked rotor should be disassembled following repair and given an unbalance
check. Balancing screws screwed out must not be screwed in again.
The only exceptions are test rig runs up to max. 25% engine load on new engines
with one or two turbochargers, which are requested in part by customers. Since in
these cases, operation with a locked rotor is brief and the loads are small, subse-
quent disassembly of the rotor is unnecessary.

Caution! During the operation of the engine with a locked turbocharger rotor, the lubrication
system must remain attached and turned on if the gas inlet can not be blocked (see
next section). Otherwise intact components can be damaged by overheating.

Taking out of operation
for over 12 months

If a charger has to be removed from the engine and stored for any length of time, the
disassembling and mothballing of the turbocharger must be prepaired by an official service
station of ABB Turbo Systems.

Ensure that the room in which the turbocharger is going to be stored is dry and free of
condensation.

Note Check mothballed turbochargers yearly for corrosion.


In the event of rust, clean and renew the corrosion protection.
