Disposing of turbocharger components
Handling damaged thermal insulation
Damaged thermal insulation can lead to dust exposure. The glass fibres can
cause mechanical irritation of the eyes, skin, and respiratory tracts.
WARNING
Avoid the formation of dust.
Vacuum up dust with a suitable vacuum cleaner.
Wear a respiratory mask to protect against particles (P1 or P2 mask).
Wear work gloves made of leather.
Wear safety goggles.
Wear a respiratory mask to protect against particles.
Wear safety gloves against mechanical risks.
Disposal must be environmentally compatible, professional, 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 (filter components of felt and polyethylene),
lubricants (engine oil), electronic parts (speed sensor and associated components), and
thermal insulation.
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.
Dispose of thermal insulation as hazardous waste.
