2.3.1 Mass of a typical complete NA358 turbocharger

The total mass of the turbocharger is dependent on the chosen build configuration e.g. type of
turbine inlet casing, type of compressor inlet casing, with thermal insulation, etc.
To calculate the mass of a specific build simply add together the masses of the appropriate
casings and the chosen options as shown in the example Table 2 3. below:-

Casing Type Specification Mass kg

One entry radial turbine inlet casing 14A 131
Turbine outlet casing with reverse foot 12B 575
Main casing with cooling valve 11C + CV01 543
Air filter silencer 02D 144
Compressor casing with speed probe 11E + SP 474
Turbine outlet casing insulation 11H 32
Main casing insulation 11J 5
Compressor casing insulation 11K 24
Rotor assembly N/A 69
Total mass of configured turbocharger = 1997

2.4 Lubricating oil specification

2.4.1 Oil grade
Generally the lubricating oil used for the engine will be suitable for the turbocharger. However
Napier Turbochargers recommend that the viscosity grade used should fall in the range SAE20 to
SAE40.

2.4.2 Additives
No additives may be added that will affect in any way the natural anti-foaming agents in the
lubricating oil in the turbocharger supply.

2.4.3 Synthetic oil

The use of synthetic lubricating oil for the turbocharger should not be considered until approval
has been given by Napier Turbochargers.

2.4.4 Oil pressure

Oil pressure 2.2 - 3.3 (Barg)

2.5 Name plates

The turbocharger has a name plate mounted on both sides of the main casing. The location is
shown in Fig 2.2 and the typical information shown on this name plate is explained in Fig 2.3.
(example only)

Caution: The limits stamped on the name plate are the maximum limits for safe continuous
operation.

2.6 Spare cartridge assembly

Issue Date: Sept 2015 TM00285:02

 Specifications

The cartridge assembly consists of the main casing, compressor outlet casing, compressor insert,
rotor assembly and bearings. It can be removed complete leaving the turbine inlet and outlet
casings attached to the engine allowing the unit to be serviced off engine. Nozzle servicing or
replacement can also be carried out from the compressor end with the cartridge removed.
The cartridge approach is designed to reduce downtime because it enables maintenance,
servicing, overhaul and repairs to be carried out quickly. The cartridge design concept allows the
main rotating assembly to be removed without disturbing the major connections to the engine
exhaust system.
