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
using 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 position 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 dir-
ection 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 Turbocharging is not liable for any unintended applications and
shall reject all warranty claims.
