Abstract

A new turbocharger series TPS..-F33 has been developed by ABB to fulfil the current and future requirements of small medium-speed and large high speed diesel engines as well as gas engines, all ranging from 500 kW to 3500 kW output power. The development was focused on increasing pressure ratio and increasing flow capacity while ensuring high efficiency, reliability, long lifetime, and ease of maintenance. This new series — with the same outline dimensions as the current TPS..D/E turbochargers — is comprised of four different turbocharger sizes and allows for a substantial performance increase.
