Description of TK18 turbochargers

TK18 turbochargers are designed for supercharging diesel engines with an average high-speed power of up to 882 kW. A special feature of these turbochargers is the cantilever arrangement of the compressor wheel and turbine wheel in relation to their bearings. These turbochargers operate reliably at intake air temperatures from -40 to +50°C and relative humidity up to 98%.
