A new
solution for the refurbishment of variable-geometry turbocompressors
Always at the cutting edge of technology when it comes to variable-geometry
turbocompressors, Turbo Moteurs Migné now offers a new refurbishment
service for your turbocompressor. Parts no longer need to be
systematically replaced, saving you time, and money!
Historical flashback
Since
the end of the 1990s, many automobiles, HGV, ship engines and
industrial engines have been equipped with variable-geometry
turbocompressors. The aim now is to reduce turnaround times to the
minimum, but also to contribute to finding solutions for engine
contamination problems.
Limitations of variable-geometry turbocompressors…
Variable-geometry turbocompressors offer many advantages, but they
have their limits too. The multi-valve regulator is sensitive to
carbon deposits which, in large quantities, can clog the valves.
This is a common occurrence when the vehicle is driven on short
journeys that do not allow the engine to reach its optimum operating
temperature.
A
problem with carburetion, the catalyst or the EGR valve can
accelerate the degradation process in the variable-geometry
turbocompressor.
As a
rule, the regulator seizes-up either fully open, or closed,
generating a boost pressure which is either too low or too high. If
it is too high, there is a real danger of the turbocompressor being
damaged. The engine management programme detects an anomaly, and
restricts the engine power by switching to degraded mode to keep
damage to a minimum while still allowing the vehicle to run or the
machine to operate in the case of a static engine. The
turbocompressor must therefore be refurbished to restore its
performance.
TMM has
the solution for refurbishing your turbocompressor!
Up to now, the only option was a full replacement of the
turbocompressor. For some time now, Turbo Moteurs Migne has been
able to offer cleaning and treatment with penetrating oil to loosen
seized parts for first generation turbocompressors, thanks to their
modern, high-performance equipment.
TMM goes one step further with its offer to fully refurbish your
turbocompressor. We now have a test bench for the inspection,
adjustment and calibration of multi-valve regulators for variable-geometry
turbocompressors so that we can keep pace with the technological
advances in this field (see photos).
We have added the calibration and adjustment of multi-valve
regulators to our current procedure and it seems that we are
pioneers in this area, if not the first independent refurbisher to
propose this service on the French market.
If your variable-geometry turbocompressor has any of the symptoms
described above, contact us now to schedule its refurbishment:
you’ll be surprised how much you save...

refurbishment service does not apply to VTG BW turbocompressors
