The diagram shows the position of the low-pressure (Power2 LP) and high-pressure stage(Power2 HP) within two-stage turbocharging (Power2). The low-pressure stage is always op-erated in combination with a high-pressure stage connected in series. The two-stage tur-bocharging (Power2) supplies the engine with the air volume and associated charging pres-sure required for operation.
Here, the exhaust gases of the internal combustion engine flow through the turbine (22) ofthe high-pressure stage and subsequently through the bellows (23*) of the gas pipe to theturbine (24) of the low-pressure stage. The compressor (25) of the low-pressure stage sucksin fresh air or the air/gas mixture, respectively. This precompressed air or air/gas mixtureflows through the intercooler (26) into the compressor (21) of the high-pressure stage. Herethe air or air/gas mixture is compressed further and leaves the two-stage turbocharging(Power2) in the direction of the charge air cooler.

*) If present
The high-pressure stage (Power2 HP) is a turbomachine, and its main components are a tur-bine and a compressor. These components are installed on a common shaft and form the ro-tor (see Fig. 2: Layout of the high-pressure stage →8).
In the high-pressure stage (Power2 HP) shown in the sectional view (see Fig. 2: Layout of thehigh-pressure stage →8), the exhaust gas flows through the turbine casing (14) and thenozzle ring (11) and reaches the turbine (08). The HP turbine uses the energy contained in theexhaust gas to drive the rotor. The exhaust gases then flow through the gas outlet flange(10), the gas outlet casing (09) and the exhaust gas pipe connected to it before they reachthe turbine of the low-pressure stage (Power2 LP).
The rotor runs in two radial plain bearings (07), which are located in the bearing casing (06)between the compressor and turbine. The axial thrust bearing (05) is located between thetwo radial plain bearings. The plain bearings are connected to a central lubricating oil ductwhich is normally supplied by the lubricating oil circuit of the engine. The oil outlet lies at thedeepest point of the bearing casing.
The HP compressor wheel (16) connected to the shaft sucks in the precompressed air or anair/gas mixture from the low-pressure stage (25) through the air suction branch (01). The airis compressed further in the HP compressor (21) and the downstream diffuser (04) and sub-sequently supplied to the charge air cooler via the compressor casing (03).

Operation Manual / Power2 550-M / High-pressure stage2 Safety / 2.9 Periodic check of the pressure vessels
The recommended replacement intervals and the corresponding operating limits are jointlydefined with the enginebuilder. This information is specific to the system.
The operating limits of the low-pressure stage are generally different from the operatinglimits of the high-pressure stage.
Operation above the indicated values nBmax, tBmax can considerably shorten the recommendedreplacement intervals. In such cases, Turbo Systems recommends contacting the nearestTurbo Systems service station.
nMmax, tMmax normally only apply when running at overload (110 %) during trials on the enginetest bed. These limit values can also be permitted during operation for special applications.Operation above nMmax and tMmax is not permitted.
Failure to observe the recommended replacement intervals increases the risk of unpredict-able component failures.

In all operating states, a functioning and carefully executed oil supply is an important pre-requisite for trouble-free operation of the low-pressure and high-pressure stage.
The low-pressure and high-pressure stage are usually lubricated with oil from the engine oilcirculation.
u The directives of the enginebuilder on the selection of the lubricating oil and the oilchange intervals must be followed.
4.1.2 Pre-lubrication
Before the engine is started, the plain bearings of the low-pressure and high-pressure stagemust be pre-lubricated. You can do this by using an electrically driven oil pump.
u Switch on the oil pump.
u Build up oil pressure. Lubricating oil pressure →45
u Do not exceed a pre-lubrication time of 2 minutes.
u Start the engine.
u Let the oil pump run until the pump driven by the engine generates sufficient pressure.
Turbo Systems recommends integrating the entire pre-lubrication cycle into the engine con-trol.
4.1.3 Oil filtering
Lubricating oil filtering with a filter mesh width of ≤ 0.034 mm is sufficient for these low-pressure and high-pressure stages.
4.1.4 Oil pressure
Comply precisely with the oil pressure before the low-pressure and high-pressure stage fortrouble-free operation.
The admissible values are specified in chapter Monitoring during operation →45.
4.1.5 Oil orifice in the high-pressure stage
With an oil inlet pressure of more than 3 bar (when engine under load) before the high-pres-sure stage, the bearing casings are equipped as standard with an orifice at the oil inlet.
Inspection procedures include preventative visual controls, monitoring and measuring workbefore and during commissioning. Inspection procedures enable changes to the low andhigh-pressure stage to be detected. Engine damage can be prevented.
4.2.2 Checks before commissioning

CAUTIONContaminated oilSerious damage to engine or property can be caused by dirt and solid ma-terial particles in the oil.
u For the initial commissioning phase and after all service work, flush thecomplete lubricating system with warm oil.
u Use special running-in filters when running in the engine and after all ser-vice work on the lubricating system.
u Check that the oil filter is clean before commissioning.
u Check the oil pressure in the oil supply pipes.
Warning plates
u Check whether warning plates are present and legible.
u Check whether the protective sheets have been removed from new warning plates.
4.2.3 Checks after commissioning (engine in idle mode)

u Check the oil pressure in the oil supply pipes.
u Check oil inlet temperature.
The admissible values are specified in chapter Monitoring during operation →45.
Leaktightness of pipes
WARNINGRisk of burning from hot gasEscaping gases are hot and will lead to serious burns in the event of contact.
u Check all pipes for leaks in accordance with the enginebuilder’s instruc-tions.
Wear safety gloves to protect against thermal hazards.
4.2.4 Checks when starting up the engine
u Measure speed, oil pressure and charging pressure at various engine performances.
u Measure the exhaust gas temperature before and after the turbine.
u Measure the air temperature before and after the compressor.
The measured values must be compared with the values of the acceptance protocol; differ-ent operating conditions must be taken into account here.
Escape of oily fluids
Lubricants and pastes used for the assembly of the low-pressure and high-pressure stagecan liquefy or vaporise and escape as oily fluids during the initial hours of operation. Con-tinual escape of an oily fluid indicates a possible oil leak.
In the event of a leak, contact a Turbo Systems service station.

¡ Engine load and turbocharger speed
¡ Exhaust gas temperature
The maximum admissible oil temperature at the outlet is listed in the following table. Thespecified oil outlet temperature is to be considered as alarm value for the turbocharger op-eration and must be monitored according to the current regulations.
Power2 Status for operation Oil temperature at the out-let
If the turbocharger has been operated for a longer period of time outside the admissiblerange, Turbo Systems recommends having the turbocharger inspected by a Turbo Systemsservice station.
Speed measurement systems enable the constant monitoring of the speeds of the low-pres-sure and the high-pressure stage.

5.3.3 Differences in speed between the low-pressure or high-pressure stages
The speeds of the low-pressure stages differ significantly from the speeds of the high-pres-sure stages.
A Power2 turbocharging system for V-engines, for example, can consist of multiple low-pres-sure and multiple high-pressure stages. In this case the speeds of the low-pressure stagesonly differ a little from each other. The same also applies to the high-pressure stages.
The difference between the highest and the lowest speed must not be more than 3 %, relat-ive to the speed limit nBmax.
If this permissible range of difference is exceeded, the following steps must be carried out:
u Reduce the engine performance immediately until the maximum speed of all low andhigh-pressure stages no longer exceeds 70% of nBmax.
u If the engine cannot be stopped, it can continue to be driven with this reduced engineperformance or at this low-pressure and high-pressure stage speed.
u If a low-pressure or high-pressure stage surges continuously, the engine performancemust be reduced further.
u Measure the temperatures in the air lines and exhaust gas pipes from and to the low-pressure and high-pressure stages and compare with normal values.
u Check the pressure loss of the alternative air inlet and compare it with normal values.
If the engine can be stopped temporarily:
u Inspect air lines, exhaust gas pipes and the low-pressure and high-pressure stages andremedy any malfunctions.
u In any case, contacting the nearest Turbo Systems service station is recommended.
WARNINGHot cable connector and hot speed sensorDanger of burns. The cable connector and speed sensor can reach temperat-ures in excess of 100 °C during operation.
u When disassembling the cable connector and speed sensor, wear safetygloves.
Wear safety gloves to protect against thermal hazards.
u Reduce the engine performance to idling and then stop the engine. Observe post-lubrica-tion time (see section Stopping the engine).
u Switch off the lubricating oil supply to the low or high-pressure stage.
u Disconnect the cable connector from the speed sensor.
u Unscrew the defective speed sensor.
u Screw in new speed sensor to the stop.

Compressor cleaning
We recommend cleaning the HP compressor after the LP compressor.
On V-engines with several low-pressure and/or high-pressure stages per engine, Turbo Sys-tems recommends the parallel cleaning of the LP compressors as well as the parallel clean-ing of the HP compressors.
This cleaning process is faster and reduces the risk of surging of the low-pressure and high-pressure stages.
Turbine cleaning
CAUTIONInadmissibly high exhaust gas temperaturesParallel cleaning of the LP turbine and the HP turbine increases the exhaustgas temperatures to inadmissibly high values. This compromises the opera-tion of the engine.

Operation Manual / Power2 550-M / High-pressure stage7 Periodic maintenance / 7.2 Cleaning the compressor during operation
¡ The enginebuilder approves the cleaning process and its specifications are adhered to.
¡ Instructions from Turbo Systems are followed.
7.2.2 Introduction
The contamination of the compressor stage (compressor wheel and diffuser) depends onthe degree of purity of the sucked-in air.
Deposits can form in the flow channels if salt, oil mist or dust are sucked in with the air.
Consequences of contamination:
¡ Impaired compressor efficiency
¡ Higher exhaust gas temperatures
¡ Increased fuel consumption
¡ Increased rotor unbalance
Periodic cleaning of the compressor during operation prevents or delays any great increasein the contamination, but never replaces the regular service work where the low and high-pressure stages are completely dismantled and the compressors are mechanically cleaned.
Cleaning process
The compressor is cleaned during operation using the wet cleaning method. This cleaningmethod is tested and approved by Turbo Systems.
Principle of wet cleaning
To clean the compressor stage during operation, water is injected before the compressorwheel.
The water does not act as a solvent. The coating is removed by the mechanical action of theimpacting droplets. The process is particularly suitable as long as the fouling is not too ad-vanced.

CAUTIONVolume of waterUncontrolled volumes of water can damage the pressure stages and the en-gine.
u Never connect injection tubes directly to a water pipe or a larger meter-ing container other than that specified by Turbo Systems.
CAUTIONCorrosion and deposits when cleaningSalt water and cooling water treatment substances damage and adverselyaffect parts of the low-pressure and high-pressure stage.
u Never use salt water, but only pure water for cleaning.
7.2.4 Wet cleaning of compressor
Wet cleaning operations for compressor with direct water supply
u Trigger water injection according to the instructions of the enginebuilder.
u The water pressure before the connection to the pressure stage must be observed (seetable Cleaning parameters).
u After cleaning operations, a waiting period of at least five minutes is required for thepressure stage to dry.
The cleaning process can be repeated up to three times.
The success of the cleaning can be recognised based on the charging pressure or the ex-haust gas temperature.
If the cleaning is still unsuccessful after three processes and the engine values are unsatis-factory, it is recommended to have the low-pressure and / or high-pressure stage checkedand cleaned by a service station.
7.3 Cleaning the high-pressure stage bellows (ifpresent)
The disassembly and assembly of the bellows (82300) is described in chapter "Disassemblyand assembly".
Fig. 26: Bellows
The following maintenance work must be carried out on the bellows (82300):
u Remove insulation (if present).
u Perform a visual inspection for cracks, deposits and corrosion damage.
u Always replace cracked bellows with a new bellows.
u If deposits and water residue are present, clean the bellows with water.
u Perform a visual inspection of the sealing points (flange connection to the compressorcasing and air suction branch).
u Always replace bellows with a damaged sealing point with a new bellows.
7.4 Cleaning turbines and nozzle rings duringoperation
7.4.1 Introduction
The combustion of fuels such as marine diesel oil (MDO) and heavy fuel oil (HFO) in dieselengines causes contamination of the turbine components of the low and high-pressurestages. Poor quality fuel in conjunction with a high exhaust gas temperature can lead to veryhard deposits on the nozzle ring, the turbine blades and particularly on the casing walls sur-rounding the impellers (cover ring Power2 LP or gas outlet flange Power2 HP).
The formation of deposits on the turbine components stems from the following combustionproducts:
¡ Soot
¡ Molten ash
¡ Cinders
¡ Incompletely burnt fuel
¡ Sodium vanadyl vanadate
It is advantageous to use fuels with low ash, sulphur, sodium and vanadium contents. Thefuel must also be correctly stored, prepared and handled.
Turbo Systems recommends using fuels with a mass ratio of vanadium to sodium of lessthan 3:1 so that the melting temperature of the sodium vanadyl vanadate is as high as pos-sible.
Consequences of contamination:
¡ Poor turbine efficiency
¡ Elevated exhaust gas temperatures
¡ Higher charging and ignition pressures with increasing speed of the low and high-pres-sure stages
¡ Lower engine performance
¡ Increased rotor unbalance
Experience in operation shows that, with periodic cleaning during operation, the intervalbetween overhauls can be extended. The wet cleaning of a turbine described in the followingcan be used for 4-stroke applications with heavy deposits (such as MDO and HFO applica-tions, for example). Generally, turbine cleaning is not required for the other applications.
Periodic cleaning of the turbines during operation never replaces the service work where thelow and high-pressure stages are completely dismantled and mechanically cleaned.
Very heavily contaminated turbines can no longer be cleaned in this way. In this case, thecontaminated components must be cleaned mechanically by a Turbo Systems service sta-tion.
Cleaning of the turbine and the nozzle ring during operation is carried out by the cleaningmethod described in the following and is tested and approved by Turbo Systems:
¡ Wet cleaning
Wet cleaning makes use of various effects. These effects are used with varying levels of in-tensity, depending on the type of contamination:
¡ ErosionThe contamination is removed by the mechanical action of the impacting water droplets
¡ SolubilityWater solubility of the contamination deposits in water
¡ Thermal shockSpalling of contamination due to the temperature differential
CAUTIONCorrosion and deposits when cleaningSalt water and cooling water treatment substances damage and adverselyaffect parts of the low-pressure and high-pressure stage.
u Never use salt water, but only pure water for cleaning.
The turbine-end components are cleaned at reduced engine load. The exhaust gas temperat-ure must not exceed the value specified in the cleaning instructions (see section Prerequis-ites).
CAUTIONReduced service life of the componentsFailure to comply with the minimum stabilisation time before cleaning, theprescribed turbine inlet temperatures and the drying time after cleaning sig-nificantly reduces the expected service life of the components.
u Comply with the cleaning parameters given in the tables. (see Table 19:Cleaning parameters →66) and (see Table 20: Cleaning parameters→66)
7.4.3 Wet cleaning of turbine blades and nozzle ring
Prerequisites
The following operating state and the following prerequisites have been tested and ap-proved by Turbo Systems for cleaning operations:
u Set the engine load between 20 … 50% so that the turbine inlet temperature is between380 … 430 °C.
Fig. 27: Load/time chart
u Once the turbine inlet temperature of the high-pressure stage is stable and lying below430 °C, wait at least another 10 minutes for the parts of the low and high-pressure stagesto cool down.
u Start the cleaning cycle according to the following description Wet cleaning operation.
u Only clean the low-pressure stage (Cleaning LP stage) if the low-pressure stage is con-figured with this option. If this is not the case, drying is initiated directly after cleaning ofthe high-pressure stage (Cleaning HP stage).
The prerequisites and operating state must be fulfilled prior to cleaning.
Fig. 28: Wet cleaning operation
u Make sure that the water supply (01) is connected, switched on and safeguarded.
u Open the drain pipe (08, 09) in the low-pressure stage, if present.
u Switch the 3-way valve (04) from scavenging air mode to water supply.
u Set the necessary water quantity on the flowmeter (11) according to the table in sectionCleaning parameters.
u Shut off the water supply again by switching the 3-way valve (04) to scavenging air modeafter injecting the required volume of water.
The injection process is complete.
u Shut the drain hole (if present) via the drain pipe (08, 09).
u After cleaning, continue to operate the engine for at least 10 minutes without any loadchange so that the pressure stages can dry.
It is necessary to have the corresponding water pipe pressure in order to achieve the correctwater flow rate (see table Cleaning parameters). If there is insufficient water pressure, thewater flow rate specified in the table will not be reached. A reduced cleaning effect can beexpected in this case.
The repetition of cleaning cycles one immediately after the other must be avoided as thiscan lead to excessive mechanical stress and thus to a reduction in the operating life of thecomponents.
If the cleaning process is ineffective, the duration can be extended. If the injection time is ex-tended, it is important to ensure that no impermissible volume of water collects in the gasoutlet casing. A drainage system should be installed for the gas outlet casing and openedduring cleaning. If there is no drainage system, the amount of water injected can be mon-itored with a flowmeter in the water supply. The permitted amount of water must be de-termined together with a Turbo Systems service station.
The action of the cleaning water on the peripheral units (such as boiler) must be clarified bythe operator.
Draining the gas outlet casing of the low-pressure stage
The following points must be observed with regard to draining the gas outlet casing:
¡ The exhaust gas temperature downstream of the low-pressure stage drops drasticallyduring cleaning (typical gas outlet temperatures during cleaning: 60...180 °C)
¡ Depending on the engine load, the drainage can take place through the drain pipe. Thisdrainage may occur after 2 … 3 minutes or not at all.
¡ If the drainage of the gas outlet casing is omitted, the low-pressure stage speed and/orthe gas inlet temperature must be monitored during the cleaning process. If the load istoo low, water can collect in the gas outlet casing. Indications for this are a suddensevere drop in the low-pressure stage speed or a very large increase in the gas inlet tem-perature. In such cases, the cleaning operations must be stopped and the cleaning cyclerestarted with reduced water pressure or higher engine load.

A minimal and uniform wear at the circumference of the rotor componentscaused by slight local rubbing against adjacent components is permitted. Thiscauses the compressor or turbine blades to be somewhat shortened. To pre-vent significant loss of efficiency, specific tolerances must be fulfilled.
¡ If there is any doubt about the extent of the rubbing, contact a TurboSystems service station.

u Have the cause clarified and remedied immediately by a Turbo Systemsservice station.
u Have parts assessed for damage and, if necessary, replaced by a TurboSystems service station.
Sporadic surge blows
Surging of the low-pressure stage can occur during certain operating states, such as whenreducing the engine performance quickly when manoeuvring. When this happens, the flowdirection in the compressor is momentarily reversed. Such sporadic surge blows do not im-pair the safe operation of the low-pressure stage.
¡ A surge blow is accompanied by a loud bang and the escape of hot air from the filter si-lencer of the low-pressure stage. No air escapes from the high-pressure stage.
No signal or poor signal amplitude of the speed measurement
Possible causes RemedyLow-pres-sure orhigh-pres-sure stage
The speed sensor was acci-dentally fitted with an addi-tional gasket.An enlarged distancebetween the sensor tip andthe signal-emitting sealingdisc reduces the voltageamplitude of the speed sig-nal.
The screw plug for the sensor is fitted with an ad-ditional gasket (copper ring).For information regarding the disassembly and as-sembly of the speed sensor, refer to the chapterReplacing the speed sensor.Install the speed sensor without the additionalgasket (copper ring).
Sensor defective Contact a Turbo Systems service station.Order new speed sensor (86505) (refer to chapterOrdering spare parts).Replace the speed sensor.
Table 39: Speed measurement – poor signal amplitude
Measured speed too high
Possible causes RemedyLow-pres-sure orhigh-pres-sure stage
Sensor tip contaminated,since it is magnetic and canattract metallic particles.This reduces the distance tothe signal-emitting sealingdisc, which can lead to ampli-fication of the noise com-ponent and therefore to falsetriggering.

10.4 Cover plate drawingThe cover plate is not included in the Turbo Systems scope of delivery and must be manufac-tured by the operating company according to the following drawing.
Material: General structural steel, in accordance with DIN EN 10025-2.
11.1 GeneralWhen taking the low-pressure and high-pressure stage out of operation, mothballing meas-ures must be taken in order to minimise the risk of corrosion on components. The necessarymeasures depend on the condition of the lubricating oil and the process used to take thelow-pressure and high-pressure stage out of operation.
11.2 Lubricating oilNo measures must be taken with regard to the lubricating oil if:
¡ The directives of the enginebuilder on lubricating oil selection and on the oil change in-tervals are followed.
Or:
¡ The engine lubricating oil is replaced by a preservative oil and circulated with the pre-lub-rication pump before the engine is taken out of operation.
If neither of the criteria above are met, mothballing by a service station is necessary. This in-cludes cleaning and applying preservative oil to the relevant components.
11.3 Process for taking out of operationDifferent measures are required depending on the process used to take the low-pressureand high-pressure stage out of operation.
¡ The low-pressure and high-pressure stage remains on the engine– Take countermeasures if there is a risk that the rotor will turn due to the stack
draught. One option is to install a blind flange on the outlet flange of the gas outletcasing or the compressor casing.
– If the engine is being taken out of operation for a long period in a corrosive environ-ment, all components through which air flows must be provided with corrosion pro-tection. Contact a service station for this purpose.
¡ Disassembly of the low-pressure and high-pressure stage as a whole unit or in individualparts
– Seal all openings of the low-pressure and high-pressure stage with paraffin paper andwooden lids.
– Store the disassembled parts in a dry room with 40-70% atmospheric humidity inwhich no condensation can form.
– Check all low-pressure and high-pressure stage parts for corrosion annually.– If there are signs of rust, thoroughly clean the parts and renew the corrosion protec-
tion.
