Intended use
Use on internal combustion engines
Power2 from Turbo Systems is intended for charging internal combustion engines.
To ensure compliance with the machinery directive 2006/42/EC when using on gas engines,
the Power2 must be operated in an engine room classified as "not at risk of explosion". This
is in accordance with the position paper [2] relating to ATEX issued by EUROMOT [1].
For use on pre-mix gas engines with ignitable propellants in the gas control system, the en-
ginebuilder must implement appropriate safety measures for explosion protection [3] (such
as flame barriers in the inlet system, for example) to assure that the transient pressure in-
crease upstream of low-pressure and high-pressure stages does not exceed the following
values in the event of deflagration.
Transient pressure increase with Power2 LP to P
max
:
≤ 12 bar
Transient pressure increase with Power2 HP to P
max
:
≤ 15 bar
Table 4: Transient pressure increase in the event of deflagration
The specific operating limits of Power2 were determined on the basis of information from
the enginebuilder about the intended use. This data is given on the rating plate and is gener-
ally different for the low-pressure stage and high-pressure stage.
The use of Power2 is limited to the specific application released at the time of delivery.
Turbo Systems accepts no liability and rejects all warranty claims for any non-intended ap-
plications.
