Abstract

The present invention relates to a device regulation of turbo-charging in an internal combustion engine. The turbo-charging regulation includes a first turbo unit and a second turbo unit each including appropriate turbines and compressors arranged sequentially on the exhaust and the intake sides of the engine. An engine rotational speed sensor is provided issuing a signal indicating the rotational speed of the engine. In addition, at least one pressure sensor issuing a signal indicative of an engine pressure level on the intake side of the engine is also provided. A first valve is associated with the first turbo unit and arranged to direct the engine combustion gases toward the turbine of the first turbo unit in a closed state and to direct the engine combustion gases past the turbine of the first turbo unit in an open state. A second valve is associated with the second turbo unit and arranged to direct the engine combustion gases toward the turbine of the second turbo unit in a closed state and to direct the engine combustion gases past the turbine of the second turbo unit in an open state. A central control unit is arranged to control the actuation of the first and second valves …
