TPL - a new turbocharger series for advanced diesel engine generations

ABB Turbo Systems has developed a new turbocharger series, designated TPL, for use on present-day as well as new-generation low-, medium- and high-speed engines rated from 1,000 kW up to the highest powers. Performance improvements include a higher pressure ratio, increased efficiency and higher flow capacity; user priorities addressed by the new, compact turbocharger are high reliability, long service life, increased time between overhauls and easy maintenance. Engine experience with the TPL turbocharger, 300 of which have already been installed, confirms the results of thermodynamic performance measurements carried out in the laboratory.
