ABB Turbocharger's expert turbine blade repair and state-of-the-art remanufacturing will maintain your turbocharger efficiency, thus improving engine performance.

The Problem. Diesel engines operated on heavy fuel emit exhaust gases containing hard erosive particles.

The continuous action of these particles erodes turbine blades on the impact surface as well as the blade tip.

Erosion, foreign particles, and damage reduce the blade surface area and the blade length, increasing the clearance between turbine blades and the cover ring. This creates rotor imbalance and allows exhaust gases to slip by the turbine blades, which results in reduced turbocharger efficiency, diminished engine performance and increased specific fuel consumption. •

The Solution. ABB Turbocharger Company has developed state-of-the-art turbine blade remanufacturing by ABS Certified welders. Worn and damaged turbine blades, for all ABB series VTR.,0,1 and 4 turbochargers, are repaired to original design specifications per the latest factory-approved procedures— in a totally enclosed, environmentally controlled "clean room." As the only ABB factory- authorized turbine blade remanufacturing facility in the U.S.A., we are able to evaluate damaged turbine blades for cracks and wear against

ABB proprietary criteria and profile gauges, then weld and machine them to finished dimensions. Turbine blades expertly remanufactured at our U.S. Repair Facility in North Brunswick, NJ are offered on an exchange basis at a fraction of the cost of new blades. ABB

Turbocharger's warranty is included with every remanufactured blade.
