HZTL4022_EN Revision E May 20171.5 Intended useUse on internal combustion engines in generalABB 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] (suchas flame barriers in the inlet system, for example) to assure that there is no transient pres-sure increase exceeding a maximum of 12 bar before the turbocharger in case of a deflagra-tion.The turbocharger supplies the engine with the air volume or air/gas mixture and the associ-ated charging pressure required for operation.The turbocharger is solely intended to be operated with a clockwise direction of rotation asviewed from the turbine end.The specific operating limits of the turbocharger were determined on the basis of informa-tion from the enginebuilder about the intended use. These data are given on the ratingplate.ABB accepts no liability and rejects all warranty claims for any non-intended uses.[1] Euromot = The European Association of Internal Combustion Engine Manufacturers[2] Directive 94/9/EC concerning equipment and protective systems intended for use inpotentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX) The Euromot Position as of November2003, ATEX Euromot Position 191103[3] Guidelines for proper safety design of inlet systems on gas engines, RWTÜV Essen,1991WARNINGUnapproved operationAny operation of the turbocharger outside of its operating limits can be haz-ardous to personnel.u Only operate the turbocharger within the operating limits.u Only trained personnel must operate the turbocharger.The intended use of the turbocharger includes compliance with all regulations and condi-tions. In particular, the following must be observed:¡ Operation Manual¡ Instructions of the enginebuilderPage 4 / 18
