 A100-M / H radial
For most advanced medium- and high-speed engines.

Designed to meet the most demanding engine and application

requirements in the current and future markets for both,
medium- and high-speed diesel and gas engines, the
A100-M / H turbochargers with radial turbines strive for the

on being one of the key technology enablers for high turbo-
charging and engine performance in combination with high
reliability even under harsh operating conditions.

Setting the latest benchmark in single stage turbocharging

with pressure ratios up to 5.8, the A100-M / H radial type
turbocharger series, with its recent extension, the two larger
frame sizes A150-M and A155-M, covers a wide range
of turbocharged engine power from 400 kW to more than
5,000 kW per turbocharger.

energy from the ship’s main engine into onboard energy for
a simultaneous reduction in engine emissions and fuel
consumption. Two waste heat recovery configurations are
available:
– Stand-alone PTL driving a generator via a reduction
gearbox, for a 4 % saving in fuel and emissions.
– PTL in conjunction with a steam turbine for fuel and
emissions savings in excess of 10 %.
