What is the intended use of ABB turbochargers?
ABB turbochargers are intended for charging internal combustion engines. They supply the engine with the required air volume or air/gas mixture and associated charging pressure. The turbocharger is solely intended for operation with a clockwise direction of rotation as viewed from the turbine end.
Operating limits are determined based on information from the enginebuilder about the intended use and are given on the rating plate.
WARNING: Unapproved operation outside of operating limits can be hazardous. Only operate within limits, and only trained personnel must operate the turbocharger.
The intended use includes compliance with:
• Operation Manual
• Instructions of the enginebuilder
The turbocharger must only be used when in a technically flawless condition and operated in compliance with its intended use. ABB excludes liability for damage from unauthorized modifications or improper operation.
What should be done if warning plates on the turbocharger are missing or illegible?
Warning plates must always be present in the intended locations and be legible. If warning plates (part number 72080) are missing or illegible, follow these steps:
► Order new warning plates from ABB Turbocharging Service Stations (see chapter Ordering spare parts).
► Remove any warning plates that have become unreadable.
► Clean and degrease the areas designated for the warning plates.
► Fit new warning plates and remove protective sheets.
Note: If the turbocharger is supplied without insulation and insulated later by the enginebuilder, warning signs must be attached to the insulation. This is the enginebuilder’s responsibility.
What information is displayed on the turbocharger rating plate?

The runout time must be noted down as a reference. Because the runout time depends on the oil viscosity, the runout time must always be measured at the same oil temperature.
If the runout time is significantly shorter in comparison to a previous measurement, the following table must be observed:
| Possible causes | Remedy |
|---|---|
| Turbocharger contaminated | Clean the turbocharger |
| Bearing damaged | Replace the bearing |
| Rotor rubbing | Check clearances |
| Foreign object in the turbocharger | Remove foreign object |

What can cause no signal or a poor signal from the speed measurement system, and how can it be fixed?
| Possible causes | Remedy |
|---|---|
| The speed sensor was accidentally fitted with an additional gasket (copper ring). An enlarged distance between the sensor tip and the signal-emitting sealing disc reduces the voltage amplitude of the speed signal. | The screw plug for the sensor is fitted with an additional gasket (copper ring). For information regarding the disassembly and assembly of the speed sensor, refer to chapter Replacing the speed sensor. Install the speed sensor without the additional gasket (copper ring). |
| Sensor or cable defective | Order new speed sensor (86505) (refer to chapter Ordering spare parts). Replacing the speed sensor. |
Table 24: Malfunction of the speed measurement system – No signal or poor signal amplitude
What can cause the measured speed from the speed measurement system to be too high, and how can it be fixed?
| Possible causes | Remedy |
|---|---|
| Sensor tip contaminated, since it is magnetic and can attract metallic particles. This reduces the distance to the signal-emitting sealing disc, which can lead to amplification of the noise component and therefore to false triggering. | For information regarding the disassembly and assembly of the speed sensor, refer to chapter Replacing the speed sensor. Dismantle the sensor, clean the sensor tip, and fit the sensor back on with the specified tightening torque. |
Table 25: Malfunction of the speed measurement system – Measured speed too high

Under what conditions are no special mothballing measures needed when taking the engine out of operation for up to 12 months?
The turbocharger normally remains attached to the engine. No measures are required under the following conditions:
Acid number (TAN) < 2 mg KOH/g
OR
The engine lubricating oil is replaced by a preservative oil and circulated with the pre-lubrication pump before the engine is taken out of operation. Residues of old engine oil are flushed away in this way and the bearing parts are largely protected against corrosion.
What safety precautions are needed when handling operating materials for mothballing?
WARNING: Handling operating materials and supplies. Swallowing or inhaling vapours of operating materials and supplies or contact with them may be harmful to health.
Do not breathe in these substances and avoid contact with the skin.
Ensure proper ventilation.
Observe the information in the material safety data sheet for the operating materials and supplies.
Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) according to the material safety data sheet.
Comply with local legislation.
Wear safety goggles.
Wear safety gloves to protect against chemical hazards.
Wear a respiratory mask to protect against gases.
What must be done if the lubricating oil acid number (TAN) is greater than 2 mg KOH/g when mothballing for up to 12 months?
If the acid number (TAN) is greater than 2 mg KOH/g, the following mothballing measures are necessary after the engine is taken out of operation:
Remove turbocharger (see chapter Removing and Installing).
Have turbocharger dismantled, cleaned, oiled and fitted again by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station.
What are the options for the turbocharger when taking the engine out of operation for more than 12 months?
If the engine is taken out of operation for more than 12 months, the following variants are possible with regard to the turbocharger:
Turbocharger remains attached to the engine
The casings of the turbocharger remain attached to the engine, the rotor and bearing parts are dismantled by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station and stored separately
The turbocharger is completely removed, either as a whole unit or in individual parts
What general preparations and storage requirements apply for mothballing over 12 months?
For the measures always necessary for preparing the turbocharger parts for mothballing, see section “Taking the engine out of operation for up to 12 months”, subsection “Preparations for mothballing”.
If the turbocharger remains attached to the engine, follow the procedures in section 8.1.
If the complete turbocharger is removed or the turbocharger is assembled again from the individual parts:
Seal all openings of the turbocharger with paraffin paper and wooden lids.
Only dry rooms with 40 … 70 % atmospheric humidity, in which no water condensation can form, are suitable as storage locations.
How should a mothballed turbocharger be maintained during storage (over 12 months)?
Check the turbocharger parts annually for corrosion.
If there are signs of rust: Thoroughly clean parts and renew corrosion protection.
How should the turbocharger and its components be disposed of?
Disposal must be environmentally compatible, competent and in compliance with locally applicable regulations.
The turbocharger consists largely of metal (cast iron materials, steel, nickel-steel alloys, aluminium and bearing brass). Further components are: Non-metallic materials (gaskets), lubricants (engine oil) and electronic parts (speed sensor and associated components).
Dispose of metals as scrap metal for recycling.
Dispose of non-metallic materials as waste.
Dispose of residues of lubricants as waste oil.
Dispose of electronic components as electronic waste.
