Engineering the Future - since 1758.

MAN Diesel & Turbo has more than 60 years unprecedented experience of producing turbo­ hargers with plain bearings and uncooled hot gas casings. c What would a state-of-the-art diesel engine be without a turbocharger? With speed rates of over 70,000 rpm and circumference speeds faster than the speed of sound, the turbocharger is one of the most important engine components. As it “inhales” air into the engine, which is indispensable for combustion, it is often referred to as the engine’s lung. A modern turbocharger is able to increase the engine output by more than 300%. Following MAN Diesel...

For easy servicing, all bearings are such as the floating radial bearing bushes coupled housed in a bearing body. with new detail solutions like the non-rotating radial bearings. The new “semi-floating” design permits most reliable operation and low wear. Semi-floating bearings with squeeze oil damper n Compact bearing concept with centre thrust bearing n Oil...

By applying up-to-date 3D CFD and FEA calculations,a new compressor wheel geometry has been created with further improved efficiencies. Depending on the application, part-load and full-load optimisation is possible by means of flow area combinations. TCR turbochargers can be optionally equipped with the IRC system (internal recirculation) which is able to provide a larger compressor characteristic map with increased surge margin ability. The compressor wheel is milled from a high resistant aluminium alloy that can withstand intake conditions within a wide temperature spectrum. A new type of...

Nozzle Ring TCR nozzle rings are manufactured from an extremely resistant material which ensures a long service life. Optimum adaptation of the turbocharger to the respective engine is achieved by means of individually selected flow areas (matching). A variable nozzle ring is optionally available. The variable nozzle ring permits optimum adaptation of the flow cross-section to the corresponding load conditions of the engine, thus reducing fuel consumption and pollutant emissions as well as improving dynamic load acceptance.

Whispering Silencer The entirely newly developed silencer cast from aluminium reduces sound imission to less than 105 dB(A). The radially arranged silencer segments have a flowoptimised design and contribute to the high efficiency of the turbocharger. The filter mat on the silencer circumference is easy to clean whenever necessary. Whispering silencer with patented radially inserted damping plates

The best maintenance would be if no maintenance were necessary at all. In this respect the new TCR series features extended maintenance intervals of up to 30,000 operating hours. When designing the turbocharger, great care was taken to ensure that servicing – even though seldom – can be carried out as easily as possible. For example, the compressor wheel can be taken out without dismantling the compressor casing. On the turbine side, the outlet casing comes with a wide inspection hatch that provides good access to the turbine wheel for inspection and cleaning. MAN Diesel & Turbo has also...
