Superior nozzle ring coating.
Crucial for overall turbocharging and application efficiency.
Used to convert exhaust gases into kinetic energy in turbochargers, nozzle rings are crucial to energy efficiency. When optimized, they can increase air intake into the engine cylinders, providing better and stronger combustion, which in turn increases output and efficiency.
Small components, big impact.
Used to convert exhaust gases into kinetic energy in turbochargers, nozzle rings are crucial to energy efficiency. When optimized, they can increase air intake into the engine cylinders, providing better and stronger combustion, which in turn increases output and efficiency.
Thus, the optimal flow of exhaust gases through the nozzle ring is crucial for the overall turbocharging and application efficiency.
Increased efficiency
Increased revenue
Reduced pollution
With an average engine runtime of 6000 hours per year, turbo washing would generate 60 hours of reduced load per year.
Experience from both marine and stationary applications show operators suffer huge financial losses due to repeated turbine cleaning. A large operator with a fleet comprising 15 vessels would lose more than $3,150,000 per year due to maintenance downtime.

With turbo washing reduced from 60 times to 10 times per year, dredging operators can save up to 50 hours of cleaning yearly, leading to additional revenue of up to $175,000 - per engine, per year.

“With the upgrade to ABB’s coated nozzle rings we have been able to extend our intervals between cleaning from 50 to 300 running hours. This means we regain nearly 1,900MWh of otherwise lost power on each engine annually with even less maintenance effort.”
