The provided document is an assembly instruction manual for ABB Turbochargers, specifically covering the VTR184 to VTR354 series.
The ABB turbocharger is a heavy-duty device designed to be fitted to an engine to enhance its performance. These assembly instructions detail the correct and safe procedure for installing the turbocharger, ensuring it operates without health and safety risks. The turbochargers are manufactured by ABB Turbocharging and are considered state-of-the-art, complying with pertinent safety and health-protection requirements applicable at the time of manufacture. They are classified as partly completed machinery under machinery directive 2006/42/EC.
The manual provides weight specifications for various models within the VTR series, which are crucial for transportation and installation planning:
These weights represent the heaviest possible variant for each model; the actual weight on the rating plate may be lower depending on the specific configuration.
For installation, foot fixing screws of strength class 10.9 or 12.9 are required. The rating plate, which contains the serial number and other relevant data, is attached to the core hole cover of the turbocharger.
The primary usage feature of this document is to guide engineers and mechanics through the installation process of the turbocharger onto an engine. Key steps include:
The document also highlights the importance of observing the Operation Manual for commissioning, operation, maintenance, and ordering spare parts. This manual can be accessed online using the serial number found on the turbocharger's rating plate.
The manual provides detailed instructions for the storage of new turbochargers and spare parts, which are essential for maintaining their condition before installation:
Safety in Maintenance: The manual stresses occupational safety during all work on the turbocharger, including maintenance. This involves wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (safety footwear, protective clothing, safety gloves, safety helmet, safety goggles, respiratory mask), observing mandatory signs, and adhering to general rules for occupational safety and accident prevention. Personnel must be authorized, trained, and physically/psychologically stable. The workplace must be clean, and suitable tools and equipment must be used. Specific warnings are given regarding handling operating materials (oils, greases, coolants, cleaning agents, solvents, acids) due to health and flammability risks, requiring proper ventilation, avoiding skin contact and inhalation, and consulting material safety data sheets.
