Intended use

Use on internal combustion engines in general
ABB turbochargers are intended for turbocharging internal combustion
engines.
To ensure compliance with the machinery directive 2006/42/EC when us-
ing on gas engines, the turbocharger must be operated in an engine room
classified as "not at risk of explosion". This is in accordance with the posi-
tion paper [2] relating to ATEX issued by EUROMOT [1].
The turbocharger supplies the engine with the air volume or air/gas mix-
ture and the associated charging pressure required for operation.
The turbocharger is solely intended to be operated with a clockwise direc-
tion of rotation as viewed from the turbine end.
The specific operating limits of the turbocharger were determined on the
basis of information from the enginebuilder about the intended use. These
data are given on the rating plate.
ABB Turbo Systems accepts no liability and rejects all warranty claims for
any non-intended uses.
