The ABB range of turbochargers
More power, less fuel, lower emissions
The ABB Turbocharging portfolio comprises a full line of both single and two-stage turbocharging technology capable of producing pressures as high as 12 bar at efficiencies as high as 75% and above. In addition, ABB turbochargers boast some of the widest compressor maps in the large engine industry, allowing both flexible adaptation of compressor output to a maximum range of load profiles in a given engine application in a given engine power range, and ensuring excellent engine response to load impositions within that load profile. On the latest engine generations, these high pressure ratios are also a key enabler of Miller Cycles of varying intensities as a means of greatly reducing NOx emissions at source, in the combustion chamber.
Imaginative design and an unparalleled grasp of aerodynamics and thermodynamics have enabled ABB Turbocharging engineers to produce turbocharging systems which combine highest levels of performance with lowest unit weights, most compact dimensional envelopes and best-in-class accessibility for ease-of-maintenance.
