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 operated
in compliance with its intended use.
ABB excludes any liability for damage resulting from unauthorized modifications to the turbo-
charger 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 inspec-
tion.
