AVAT and KBB launch turbocharger co-operation

The two German companies AVAT and KBB are going to cooperate in the digitalisation of turbochargers.

The aim of the recently agreed cooperation between AVAT and Kompressorenbau Bannewitz GmbH (KBB) is to make turbocharger technology for large combustion engines even more powerful and efficient through digitalization. Turbochargers are a key factor for the performance and efficiency of internal combustion engines used in ships and stationary power plants for energy generation.

The new hardware and software will be able to collect and analyze a wide range of operating data and metrics from the turbocharger. This will provide valuable information about the current operating point and possible damage patterns. By analyzing the data, it is possible to identify optimization potential in operation at an early stage and to proactively identify maintenance requirements.

Decades of experience in turbocharger technology

Long-term data collected by the innovative digital solution enables even more accurate detection of changes in turbocharger performance and operation through time-based comparisons. As the amount of data increases, the ability to detect damage will become more sophisticated, allowing new data-based maintenance intervals to be developed over time.

This predictive maintenance makes it possible to avoid costly equipment failures. The cooperation between AVAT and KBB combines decades of experience in turbocharger technology with leading expertise in the automation and digitalization of power plants.
