Abstract
In an internal combustion engine with a motor brake, includes an exhaust gas turbocharger and a power turbine disposed in the exhaust gas discharge line from the turbocharger for the conversion of the energy remaining in the exhaust gas into usable energy, the exhaust gas line includes bypass openings with a bypass line for the exhaust gas to by-pass the power turbine, and the turbine of the turbocharger includes inlet passages for the admission of the exhaust gas to the exhaust gas turbine, a slide-control member is supported by the exhaust gas line so as to be movable between an end position in which the turbine inlet openings are uncovered and an opposite end position in which the turbine inlet openings are covered and the by-pass openings of the power turbine are uncovered so that the exhaust gas can by-pass the power turbine.
