Head of technical division
Cut cost and get faster delivery time by returning the used unit back to us in four easy steps.
The cartridge is a real ‘plug and play’ solution as there is no need for the vessel to be drydocked or the engine or turbocharger brought ashore for cleaning and balancing. It includes the turbocharger’s core components, including the bearing housing, the rotor, and all bearing systems. The nozzle ring and diffuser are not typically included but can be on request.
Customers are initially charged the swap unit’s full price, and a 30% deposit is refunded if the old unit is returned within 60 days. The swap units include new or reconditioned parts protected under a two-year guarantee.

The service is currently available for the most widely used specifications of KBB’s HPR series of turbochargers – single-stage, high-pressure turbochargers for medium-speed engines with a power output of 500-3,000kW – as well as the ST series for engines up to 6,000kW. These units are applied in the marine market on Wärtsilä, Hyundai Himsen, Yanmar, and MaK engines.
Exhaust-gas turbochargers from KBB supplied by PJ Diesel Engineering A/S
Whether individual exhaust-gas turbocharger design, in-house manufacturing made in Germany, or KBB’s full range of services with its far-reaching service network: we stick to our word.
We strive to make you stronger: convincing you with exhaust-gas turbochargers for medium-speed and high-speed diesel, gas, and dual-fuel engines in the output range between 500 kW and 5,000 kW.
This trend reflects the increasing uptake of KBB turbochargers as well as developments in the markets KBB serves. For example, the company’s products now cover more than 1,100 engine types and applications, compared to around 600 in 2013. This has led to a 20.5% increase in the number of different stock parts the company needs.
The growth has been accompanied by a corresponding increase in the complexity of KBB’s service operation and the challenge of making the right parts available to customers at the right time. The review that accompanied the development of K2S will ensure that KBB’s service programme can accommodate recent and future growth.
Ship operators have traditionally faced a dilemma when dealing with turbocharger breakdowns. A complete overhaul requires the turbocharger to be re-balanced in a workshop, with time off hire for the vessel. Even when parts could be replaced on board, the availability of parts and engineering capability mean that it can take longer than anticipated to get a turbocharger back into service. Meanwhile re-engineered or third-party parts may be more accessible but could invalidate any warranty and add another element of uncertainty to operations.
By using K2S, ship owners can get the best of both worlds; rapid and reasonably priced access to manufacturer-assured components. As KBB and its service partners are responsible for all warranties and liabilities, a strong cooperation is assured and a joint, condition-based service programme can be implemented – optimising scheduled maintenance and emergency response, enabling good value repairs and competitive total cost of ownership as well as ensuring that units in service are of the newest standard.
