Explanations of the rating plate
The recommended replacement intervals and the corresponding operating limits are jointly
defined with the enginebuilder. This information is specific to the system.
The operating limits of the low-pressure stage are generally different from the operating
limits of the high-pressure stage.
Operation above the indicated values n
Bmax
, t
Bmax
can considerably shorten the recommended
replacement intervals. In such cases ABB recommends contacting the nearest ABB Tur-
bocharging Service Station.
n
Mmax
, t
Mmax
normally apply only when running at overload (110%) during trials on the engine
test bed. These limit values can also be permitted during operation for special applications.
Operation above n
Mmax
and t
Mmax
is not permitted.
Non-observance of the recommended replacement intervals increases the risk of unpredict-
able component failures.
Locations of the rating plates
The locations of the rating plates are defined in the Operation Manual, Chapter 4 Product

1.9
Periodic check of the pressure vessels
The pressure vessels used by ABB Turbocharging, such as those for wet or dry cleaning, are
so-called "simple pressure vessels".

The locally applicable legal regulations regarding periodic checks of the pressure vessels
must be observed.
¡
The operating company is responsible for the safe operation of the pressure vessel.
WARNING
Danger due to pressure vessels
The operating company must make sure the pressure vessels are in proper
working condition and monitor them. Necessary repair or maintenance work
must be performed promptly, and the required safety measures must be
taken.
u
Pressure equipment must not be operated if defects are present.
