Lubricating oil temperature at the inlet 
 
 
Machine damage may result if the oil temperature at the oil inlet ex-
ceeds the permissible range. 
 Keep the oil temperature at the oil inlet as specified in the following 
table. 
 
 
Oil temperature at inlet 
T

Temporarily permissible (< 1 h) → alarm  > 105 °C 
Not permissible → stop engine 
Not permissible → do not start engine (before 
starting: preheat oil) 
< 30 °C 
 
Lubricating oil temperature at the outlet 
The oil temperature at the outlet depends mainly on: 
  lubricating oil temperature and pressure at the oil inlet 
  engine load and turbocharger speed 
  exhaust gas temperature 
The maximum permissible oil temperature at the outlet is listed in the fol-
lowing table. The specified oil outlet temperature must be regarded as an 
alarm value for turbocharger operation and be monitored in accordance 
with standard regulations. 
 
Oil temperature at outlet

Permissible   ≤ 160 °C 
Temporarily permissible → alarm  > 160 °C 
Not permissible → stop engine  > 180 °C 
Permissible  ≤ T

If the turbocharger has been operated outside the permissible range for a 
prolonged period of time, ABB Turbo Systems recommends having the 
turbocharger inspected by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station.
