Abstract

The engine is supercharged by two turbocharger units which are capable of being put into operation in succession and their compressors are capable of supplying air to the engine in parallel. When the turbocharger unit is not in operation, the outlet of its compressor is put in communication through a bypass passage with the inlet of its turbine by means of flaps or the like.
