Advantages of Turbochargers
In turbochargers the exhaust gas energy which would normally be wasted is used to drive a turbine, which in turn drives a compressor to deliver compressed air to the engine. The advantages of a turbocharged engine are: lower fuel consumption lower emissions better torque characteristics lower weight and smaller engine package lower engine noise

More Power Required


Choice is either; Increase the size of engine or fit a turbocharger.

How a Turbocharger Works


The turbine housing is bolted to the exhaust manifold of the engine. The waste exhaust gasses are used to rotate the turbine wheel which is housed in the turbine casing.Turbine temperatures up to 760 deg C The turbine wheel is connected to a common shaft which in turn rotates a compressor wheel.

How a Turbocharger Works


As more gas passed through the turbine housing, the faster the turbine wheel rotates. As the turbine wheel increases in speed, so does the compressor wheel. This creates a sucking process and pulls air into the compressor cover from the atmosphere (filtered). The faster the wheels spin the, the more air is sucked in.

How a Turbocharger Works

As the air is sucked into the compressor cover, it is forced through a diffuser area. This compresses the air and forces it into the engine This process causes the air to increase in temperature, up to 200 degrees C

Journal Bearings fully floating bearings - allows higher clearances, so higher oil flows for cooling oil film thicknesses of 0.008 to 0.015 mm leaded bronze allow high degrees of imbalance Thrust Bearing taper land bearing phosphor bronze or sintered iron thrust loads of 100 - 2000 N (size dependent) typical oil film thickness 0.008 - 0.015mm Has to withstand high temperatures, hot shut down, soot loading in the oil, contaminants, oil additives, dry starts.

Turbocharger Basics Wastegates


A wastegate mechanism functions, by allowing some of the exhaust gas to bypass the turbine thus limiting turbo speed & boost pressure. Typically the wastegate valve is only opened at high engine speeds & loads (used to prevent turbo speed or boost pressure from exceeding safe levels).

TURBOCHARGER FAILURE ANALYSIS

Turbocharger Failure Analysis


The purpose of analysing a failed turbocharger is to determine the root cause of failure. We also need to determine who is responsible. We need to prevent a reoccurrence - whether it is a Cummins Turbo Technology problem or a customer / end user problem. If the problem is Cummins Turbo Technologies we need to fix it. If the problem is the customers we need to work with and support them, to ensure it doesnt happen again.

Warranty Analysis

How can we determine the root cause of the problem?

Disassembly & Inspection

Check for damage to the external surfaces,concentrating on the flange areas where incorrect fitting of pipes or adaptors,may have caused damage.

Customer Responsibility

Disassembly & Inspection


Check for compressor end foreign object damage by looking in the intake.

AIR INTAKE

Foreign Object Damage Compressor End


Cause : Rags,wrenches,nuts,screws,parts from the intake filter.
Damage to the blade tips

Disassembly & Inspection


Check the turbine intake for signs of solid objects. Note! Except in severe cases the turbine housing needs to be removed (in order to inspect the blade tips).

TURBINE INLET

Foreign Body Turbine End

Disassembly & Inspection


Check the overall appearance corresponds with the data supplied. (i.e. claim data is 10,000kms, but turbo appears to have been in use for much longer . Check axial and radial clearances. Clearances can be found in the CTT Service Data Sheet (current version can be downloaded from www.Holset.co.uk - Parts & Service section)

Disassembly & Inspection


Remove the compressor housing Remove the core assy from the turbine housing

Remove the turbine housing and compressor cover and check for any wheel touches or rubs on the profile.

Disassembly & Inspection


Remove the compressor wheel and check for signs of excessive oil on the backface.This could be due to oil carryover past the compressor seal ring. Check condition of the seal ring when removed. The most common cause of oil leakage, is a blocked air intake filter.

Disassembly & Inspection


Remove the shaft & wheel,check for any heat discolouration and any wear on the shaft.

Disassembly & Inspection


Remove the circlip

Remove the oil seal plate

Remove the O-ring seal

Check for damage to the O-ring seal

Disassembly & Inspection


Remove the oil slinger from the oil seal plate. Check for wear or score marks in the bore.

Remove the seal ring

Disassembly & Inspection

Remove the thrust bearing and thrust collar,check for blockage of the oil feed holes ( a common cause of thrust failure ). Check for heat discolouration and scoring marks of both the bearing and collar. If excessive radial clearance was found it is likely that the journal bearings will also be damaged.

Silicone Applied to Oil Inlet Gasket

Do not use silicone

Foreign Body Blocking the Oil Supply to the Thrust Bearing

Silicone blocking oil to the thrust bearing

Blocked Thrust Bearing


Foreign object blocking the oil feed to the thrust system

Cause : Silicone from the oil feed pipe fitting. Cleanliness during service intervals,filters and oil.

Disassembly & Inspection


Remove the compressor-end outer circlip and remove the journal bearing. Look for scoring marks on both the outside (OD) and inside (ID) diameters, this can be caused by oil contamination ( dirt ) in the oil.

Remove the turbine-end bearing. This bearing will normally be a much darker colour than the compressor bearing (due to higher operating temperature).

Oil Dirt Ingress

Cause : Service intervals overdue Cleanliness during service Poor quality oil Poor quality filters

Oil Dirt Ingress

Shaft wear from oil dirt ingress

Oil Contamination
New bearing Contaminated bearing

Check the colour of the bearing, a natural darkening with age is acceptable. A duller,powdery surface is an indication of engine coolant in the oil - the same appearance will normally also be found on the thrust bearing.

Oil Delay
Bronze particles on the shaft

Causes :Restricted oil feed pipes.


Low oil level in the sump Blocked oil filter Long periods on Non use Lack of priming

Oil Starvation

Cause : Oil pump failure Broken oil feed pipe No oil in engine.

Hot Shutdown - Overheating

Cause: Hot shutdown of the engine, poor quality lub. oil, infrequent service intervals, check for heavy carbon deposit in the bearing housing.

Hot Shutdown

Hot Shut Down from Peak Torque Temp Limit of CD Oil 1 min Idle 2 min Idle 3 min Idle

Excessive Engine Temperatures


Delamination of the dividing wall and erosion of the gas entry.

Turbine housing cracked.

Cause : Incorrect fuel/air ratio, caused by blocked air intake filter, or overfuelling, etc.

Oil Leakage
External - Common Causes : Loose / Damaged oil inlet and oil drain fittings. If fitting a new gasket and tightening the fittings does not stop the leak,then look for a damaged oil line or leaking centre housing. Internal Compressor & Turbine - Common Causes : Restriction in the turbo oil drain will force oil past the split ring seals at both the turbine and compressor ends. Oil leakage at both ends simultaneously is a good indicator that this may be the problem Engine blow by pressure - which can be due to the engine crankcase vent being blocked by damage,plugging or icing.

Oil Leakage

Restriction

Oil Leakage - Compressor

An inlet depression(vacuum) greater than 25 in water will pull oil past the compressor end split ring seal. THIS WILL NOT DAMAGE THE TURBO UNLESS THE THRUST BEARING FAILS. Typical cause is a blocked air intake filter or collapsed intake pipe.

Compressor End Oil Leakage

Compressor End Oil Leakage

Oil Leakage

Holset - Responsibility
Failure due to manufacturing quality defect.

Failure due to design defect.

Material Defects (casting porosity, inclusions, oxide blows, etc ).

Turbine High Cycle Fatigue (HCF) - Examples


Occurs when blades are run for extended periods at a sub-harmonic of the blade natural resonance frequency Casting defects can bring blade resonance into running range, even though designed to be outside Exact failure location varies, dependant on vibration mode and wheel design

Turbine Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) - Examples


Typically due to casting defects but instances of fatigue initiating in, for example, out-of-specification balance cuts have been seen Defect presence raises local stresses and initiates fatigue Defects have variety of appearances and sizes

Impeller LCF - Defects


Duty cycle Defect presence raises local stresses and initiates fatigue Defects have variety of sizes and appearances There are three common failure locations - back face, suction side exducer blade root and the bore (highest stresses) Back Face

Impeller LCF - Defects


Blade Root - Inclusion

Blade root - Linear/oxide blow

Impeller LCF - Defects Bore

Bore inclusion Bore cavity

Cause of failure could also be due to overspeed

Balance - Related Failures

Balance failures due to a manufacturing problem (hence Holset Responsibility) usually occur in very early life. (i.e. most within 500 km). If a balance failure occurs in late life - it is normally caused by wheel foreign-object damage, turbo overspeed or tampering) Balance failure causes: Parts misaligned Rotor parts replaced without check-balancing Incorrect parts used.

Noise
Causes of noisy turbo complaints High level of rotor imbalance (if very early life - i.e. less than 1k km, most likely a Holset issue - if later in life, look for foreign-object damage or bearing damage which caused a wheel rub, etc). Turbocharger bearing housing joints - loose screws, V clamps. (A/Mkt turbos fitted,OE orientation factory set ). Check for signs of leakage/damaged jointing surfaces. Air or exhaust leaks on external turbo flanges Look for soot on the turbine inlet and exhaust flanges, check if fasteners are loose , or surfaces damaged. Non-turbocharger issues (water pump, fan belt, etc, etc).

Closed Crankcase Ventilation


Future legislation may prohibit all uncontrolled engine emissions, including crankcase blow-by gases. Some applications already require closed crankcase ventilation systems. CCV systems filter the crankcase emissions from engine piston rings valve stem leakage turbocharger seal leakage air compressor leakage These are generally routed to the turbocharger compressor inlet The long term effects of blow-by gases on turbocharger efficiency are a concern. Large efficiency losses can arise even with very low carry over rates.

Preventative Maintenance

Maintenance schedules recommended by the OEM should be strictly adhered to.

DO NOT USE inferior oil and air filters.

Use oil recommended by the OEM.

Preventative Maintenance
Air filters should be changed at the OEMs recommended intervals or earlier when operating in severe conditions. WARNING : Running the engine with a partially blocked air intake filter will increase fuel consumption and could also lead to turbocharger oil leakage. High exhaust back pressure can lead to temperature related problems with the turbocharger specifically bearings and seals. It is recommended that all clamps,hose clips,nuts & screws are checked at the routine service intervals. The correct torques can be found in the HOLSET Service Repair Manual

Preventative Maintenance
REMEMBER :

Cold start - Requires good start up procedure.

The longer the engine is allowed to cool down the less damage is done to the turbo

Fitting a Replacement Turbocharger

It is important to understand why the original turbocharger requires replacing.

Determine the cause of any engine or vehicle failure and rectify,before fitting a replacement turbocharger

Fitting a Replacement Turbocharger


Each HOLSET turbocharger is designed to match a specific engine specification (power, speed, charge cooling etc).

DO NOT REMOVE THE DATA PLATE

Fitting a Replacement Turbocharger


It is important that the engine intake / exhaust systems are checked for debris. It is recommended that the air intake filter is changed using only OEM genuine parts

Fitting a Replacement Turbocharger


Check that the oil inlet and drain flanges are clean and free from obstruction. Replace the gaskets

Fitting a Replacement Turbocharger


Replace the oil and filter using only OEM recommended parts and specified oil grade & classification.

Fitting a Replacement Turbocharger


Ensure the engine manifold mounting flange and studs are in good condition and are not warped or bent. Check for any cracks. Check the oil intake line is free from dirt or carbon, if in any doubt replace the line and fittings with new ones. Mount the turbocharger on the manifold and check that the turbine inlet gaskets fits correctly.

Fitting a Replacement Turbocharger


The orientation of the bearing housing or compressor housing may require changing, to align correctly with the air, oil and water connections. Make sure all fasteners are tightened to the specified torque when the orientation is set. Take care not to damage any O rings when changing the orientation of the compressor housing as this could cause air leakage. See Holset Service Manual for the recommended torque settings

Fitting a Replacement Turbocharger

Connect the oil drain line and then fill the turbocharger oil feed hole with clean engine oil. Slowly rotate the rotor by hand.

Fitting a Replacement Turbocharger

Connect the oil inlet line and the remaining external fittings to the turbocharger.

Pull out the fuel stop and crank over the engine using the starter motor, until normal operating engine oil pressure is developed.

Check for any oil leaks from the connections.

Fitting a Replacement Turbocharger


Start the engine and idle,checking that all air,gas and oil connections are tight and free from leakage. Tighten any fastenings as required. Use soapy water to help detect air and gas leaks.

Holset VGT Overview

Turbocharger Basics Fixed Geometry Turbochargers consist of


an exhaust-gas driven turbine connected to and driving a radial compressor, providing a Turbine Stage boosted air supply to the engine. At a given engine speed, turbo speed (hence boost pressure) can be changed ONLY by changing fuelrate. - i.e. at a fixed Area fuelling rate, boost pressure is also fixed.

Machined From Solid Impeller MFS


Overview

x1 - Base Material Fatigue Properties x2 - Material selection and processing

Base materials properties improved in MFS impellers due to


increased alloy content and fine grain structure from forging process Inherently low level of oxides in wrought alloy used to make MFS impellers Fine grain structure in MFS leads to improved fatigue life

x1 - Base Material Fatigue Properties x2 - Material selection and processing

Fine grain structure in MFS leads to improved


fatigue life Cast microstructure Forged microstructure

Defect (casting process) related failures not experienced in MFS impellers

Oxide casting defect

x4 - Vehicle Usage and Application Duty Cycle


Fatigue damage created locally on a component due to the changes in
stress/strain produced during the normal operation of the turbocharger. These changes in stress/strain are directly related to the changes in turbocharger speed in any typical duty cycle. MFS material has improved fatigue resistance over cast material
