Abstract
A diesel engine is supercharged by a compressor driven by a turbine which receives the exhaust gas of the engine. A bypass pipe permits the air delivered by the compressor and not taken by the engine to flow to the turbine. Means for impressing to the air flow in the by-pass a pressure drop which is substantially independent of the rate of flow and increases when the output pressure of the compressor increases comprises an air balanced throttle member in the by-pass and separate control means.
