Turbosafe Operation

TurboSafe

more than doubles turbo life

eliminates hot shutdowns & oil lag failures

STAGE 1 - ENGINE STARTUP

When first installed, the accumulator is empty. When the engine is started, the accumulator is charged by hydraulic pressure from the engine oil pump.

STAGE 2 - ENGINE SHUTDOWN

The piston remains in this position as long as there is full oil pressure in the engine. The instant the engine is stopped, the oil pressure drops and the piston is driven forward by the pressure of the spring. Oil is forced into the turbocharger bearings at 20 psi (1.4 bar) for approximately 2 minutes while the hot turbocharger rotor is spinning. The oil supplied from the accumulator, lubricates and cools the bearings and rotor.

STAGE 3 - STANDBY - FOR STARTUP

The piston continues to move forward until it reaches mid-point and the locking cone at the end of the piston rod engages the locking pin. The piston remains in this position until the engine is required to start. When the engine receives a start signal, the solenoid is energized and the locking pin immediately releases the turbocharger oil at 15 psi (1 bar) on a continuous basis until engine oil pressure is reached and the piston is forced back by oil as described in stage one.

INSTALLATION

Installation is very straight forward and is simplified with the universal installation kit. The TurboSafe can be mounted on the engine or at a position up to 2 metres away. The installation kit consists of PTFE stainless covered pipes, wiring harness and brackets. The solenoid is available in 12, 24 or 32 volts dc or it can be supplied with an air operated solenoid.
