T- IHI / T- RH163 Marine Turbocharger, Marine Engine Turbocharger Replacement In Ship

IHI / RH163 marine turbocharger:

T-RH163 marine turbocharger belongs to T-IHI/T- RH series turbocharger (T-RH133, 143, 163, 183 and 203), which  consists of mixed flow turbine and radial flow compressor.

• T-RH163 marine turbocharger is developed to match high-speed diesel engine.
• Inboard plain bearing is lubricated by the engine oil system.
• A seal ring and heat shield are mounted on the turbine side to avoid the gas to the bearings.
• A seal plate and seal ring located in compressor side in order to prevent the air and oil leaking.
• A thrust bearing to prevent the shaft moving due to the thrust force.
• The turbocharging efficiency is 60%-62%, and its compressor pressure ratio up to 3.6.
• T-RH series turbochargers are broadly used in automotive, heavy truck, construction, marine and industrial engine.

Brief introduction of Marine turbocharger:

Marine turbocharger/Exhaust gas turbochargers operate at high speeds, high exhaust gas temperatures, high air and exhaust gas flow rates, and high flow rates. Generally, the pressure of the exhaust gas is 0.25-0.45 MPa, and the exhaust gas temperature is 500-600 °C. The speed varies with the size of the Marine turbocharger / supercharger. The maximum speed of the large-sized supercharger is 10000 r/min, and the maximum speed of the small-sized supercharger can reach 40,000~50000r/min. Therefore, the marine turbocharger/exhaust gas turbocharger is a precision machine.
