Abstract: In a supercharged engine, an EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) turbine (6) is incorporated in the exhaust gas flow in parallel with the turbine (4) of the supercharger. The EGR turbine (6) is driven by a first partial exhaust gas flow (21) and is used for driving an EGR compressor (7) which delivers a second partial gas flow (22) which is to be returned to the inlet manifold (2) of the combustion engine. The first and second partial gas flows (21,22) intended respectively to drive the EGR turbine (6) and be returned to the inlet side via the EGR compressor (7) are both tapped from the exhaust manifold (3,3') upstream with respect to the supercharger turbine (4) as seen in the exhaust gas flow direction. The exhaust gas flows through the EGR turbine (6), and the EGR compressor (7) are controlled by individual control valves (15,17).

Abstract: A supercharged EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) turbine (6) is incorporated in the exhaust gas flow in series after the turbine (4) of the supercharger and is driven by the exhaust gases which have already passed through the turbine of the supercharger. The EGR turbine (6) is used for driving an EGR compressor (7) which delivers a partial gas flow which is to be returned to the inlet manifold (2) of the combustion engine. The partial gas flow intended for return to the inlet side is tapped from the exhaust manifold (3, 3') and is pressurized in the compressor stage (7). The EGR turbine (6) is controlled by a waste-gate valve (15) and the partial exhaust gas flow to the EGR compressor is controlled by a valve 17.
