Power and automation technology company ABB has announced the »large engine industry’s first commercial turbocharging air outlet silencer package«. Designed[ds_preview] to contribute to reductions in engine room noise to meet the new International Maritime Organization SOLAS limits, the package is offered on A100-L and A200-L series turbochargers. A reduction by approximately 5 dB was announced, depending on the turbocharger location, and other variables specific to the engine, vessel profile, and engine room.
Also at Marintec, ABB has launched its smallest turbocharger for two-stroke marine engines; the A160-L, with highest efficiency and pressure ratios up to 5.0 enabling minimized fuel consumption for IMO Tier II and Tier III NOx compliance.
