Abstract

The invention relates to a compound turbo-drive for a two cylinder bank V-form internal-combustion engine with an exhaust-gas turbocharger for each cylinder bank that together feed a re-expansion turbine. To obtain a space-saving arrangement, the re-expansion turbine has a double-flow turbine housing with two integrated side inlet housings to which the exhaust-gas turbines of the exhaust-gas turbochargers are arranged horizontally.
