All rights reserved.September 2016HZTL2412_ENRevision FMaintenanceForeword to Maintenance5.1General maintenance work involves regular visual checks and cleaningtasks which are intended to ensure the trouble-free functioning of the tur-bocharger.The maintenance points described here are differentiated as follows: Cleaning during operation:– Compressor– Turbine and nozzle ring. Mechanical cleaning of individual components:– Filter silencer– Casings, diffuser, nozzle ring– Cartridge group: Compressor, turbineCAUTIONRisk of damage during mechanical cleaningIf mechanical cleaning is carried out too often, this can lead to damageand corrosion on the components. If cleaning during operation is not sufficient to achieve acceptablevalues regarding thermal load and engine performance, mechanicalcleaning of certain spots can be carried out. Perform mechanical cleaning, especially of the cartridge group, onlyonce within the service interval.NOTICECleaning methodTo allow you to observe the standard service intervals and to maintain ahigh turbocharger efficiency, ABB Turbo Systems recommends that thecleaning procedure be carried out during operation. This allows thethermal load of the engine to be kept low while ensuring maximum fuelefficiency. Dispose of dirty water and cleaning agents in an environmentally com-patible manner, professionally and in accordance with valid local regu-lations.55.1
