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 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].
For use on pre-mix gas engines with ignitable propellents 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 there is no transient pressure
increase exceeding a maximum of 12 bar before the turbocharger in case of a deflagration.
The turbocharger supplies the engine with the air volume or air/gas mixture and the associat-
ed charging pressure required for operation.
The turbocharger is solely intended to be operated with a clockwise direction 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 accepts no liability and rejects all warranty claims for any non-intended uses.

Unapproved operation
Any operation of the turbocharger outside of its operating limits can be haz-
ardous to personnel.
WARNING
Only operate the turbocharger within the operating limits.
Only trained personnel must operate the turbocharger.
The intended use of the turbocharger includes compliance with all regulations and conditions.
In particular, the following must be observed:
