Turbochargers for compression & Power engines

In 2020, Cooper strengthened its turbocharger offering through the acquisition of the Archrock Turbocharger Division.

In 2020, Cooper purchased the Archrock Turbocharger Division and combined it with our own Turbine Specialties group to create Turbocharger Solutions International (TSI), a stand-alone turbocharger division run by the industry’s finest turbocharger experts. TSI is the original equipment manufacturer (O.E.M.) for Cooper-Bessemer™, DeLaval™, and Elliott™ turbochargers. TSI provides parts, repairs, and full service for ABB®, Alco®, CAT®, Clark®, MAN®, and Napier® turbochargers.

Founded as a three-person shop in Salina, Kansas in 1972, TSI has grown to become the largest and most complete new turbocharger repair company in the United States. TSI primarily serves the gas pipeline, petroleum, power generation, marine, military, and locomotive industries. TSI has established an enviable reputation for quality work, on-time performance, and technical expertise. Products and services include parts, repair, new and remanufactured turbochargers, retrofit packages, turbocharger testing, upgrade/re-aero services, training, and a substantial offering of unit exchange (UX) programs.

Our Engineering and Technical Support personnel understand the various challenges our turbocharger customers encounter. We strive to continually develop innovative solutions for our customers and our manufacturing processes. Our team of experts can offer innovative solutions to your most demanding challenges including new product development and testing in our state-of-the-art closed-loop testing facility. Our turbocharger staff includes engineers, technical support representatives, quality inspectors, test cell operators, and technicians to measure and guarantee customer-specified air requirements.

Only TSI gives customers a dedicated engineering team, ready to roll up their sleeves to solve problems quickly in person or over the phone. We provide performance audits and can make recommendations for upgrades and retrofits designed to keep you up and running profitably, year in and year out. We also offer customized turbocharger training at our customers’ facilities, our facilities, or in conjunction with Cooper’s engine schools.
