Preliminary remarks
Storage of new turbochargers and
spare parts
Long-term storage of replacement turbochargers or spare parts
Per order, turbochargers or cartridge groups will be prepared by ABB
Turbo Systems for prolonged storage. The package is equipped with a
hygrometer (see the figure).
The following measures are required every 6 months:
Check the hygrometer (2) in the sight-glass. There is an opening (1) in

the wooden crate which allows this check to be carried out. When the
display field has changed colour at the 70% level, the maximum
permissible humidity has been exceeded. In this case the turbocharger
or rotor must be inspected by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station
and repacked.
Inspect the package for damage. If the package is damaged, the

turbocharger or cartridge group must be inspected by an ABB
Turbocharging Service Station and repacked.
After every 3 years the following work steps must be performed by an
ABB Turbocharging Service Station:
 Inspect the components.
 Exchange the desiccant agent.
 Repackage the components.
Replacement components ready for operation
If the 70% display field of the hygrometer (2) has not changed colour
and the package is undamaged, the replacement turbocharger or
replacement cartridge group can be placed into operation without any
prior testing by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station.
Unpacking replacement turbochargers or spare parts
The corrosion protection effect ends after the material is unpacked from
the VCI packaging.
To avoid the formation of condensation, the surroundings and the content
of the package must have the same temperature during unpacking.
