Deflagration on gas engines 
2.8 
ABB turbochargers can tolerate a deflagration with a transient pressure 
increase of 12 bar. 
After a deflagration event ABB Turbo Systems recommends verifying the 
following points on the turbocharger:  
  Position of the turbine and compressor casings to the bearing casing 
  Shifting of the bearing casing in relation to the bracket 
  Cracks in casings 
If during external inspection anomalies are found or if a particularly strong 
deflagration event has taken place, it is also recommended to check the 
bearings of the turbochargers before the next start. This inspection and 
evaluation must be carried out by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station.
