Indian Rail gaining traction with ABB turbochargers. ABB rolls out the 2500th TPR61 turbocharger for Indian Rail.

The TPR turbocharger was developed for four-stroke diesel engines in an output range of 1,250 kW to 4,400 kW in single or twin turbocharger configurations. Available in the frame sizes TPR56 and TPR61, the TPR platform targets modern medium-speed engines used in heavy-duty rail traction applications. A global population of over 2000 TPR turbochargers is currently in use, notably in India, where they have to cope with the most demanding load profiles and ambient conditions in both heavy long-haul and shunting locomotive applications.

The TPR turbocharger platform offers high pressure ratios at high turbocharging efficiencies, combined with outstanding reliability and long times between overhauls (TBOs) and is constructed as a compact package suitable for installation in the often restricted space available on many diesel locomotives.
