  • Publication number: 20090139231
    Abstract: In a turbocompound engine drive including an engine with a crankshaft, an exhaust gas turbine operatively connected to the crankshaft via a reduction gear structure and a hydrodynamic clutch providing together for a power transmission path between the engine a freewheel is integrated into the power transmission path between the turbine and the crankshaft of the engine for disconnecting the turbine from the engine when the turbine speed is lower than the comparable engine speed to prevent the turbine from being driven by the engine.

  • Publication number: 20090133653
    Abstract: In a spur gear drive for driving the camshaft of an overhead valve internal combustion engine wherein drive power is transmitted from the crankshaft to the camshaft via spur gears mounted on the crankshaft and the camshaft which is rotatably supported on the cylinder head, a third, intermediate, gear is adjustably supported in the power train between engine block-mounted gears and cylinder head-mounted gears so that changes in the distance between the crankshaft and the camshaft can be accommodated and, with the use of smaller gears, the spur gear drive becomes smaller and lighter overall.
