Abstract
An arrangement and method for coupling an air compressor to the driving shaft of an internal combustion engine that is used as the drive engine of a vehicle, wherein the air compressor supplies a pneumatic device. The arrangement contains a controllable turbocoupling, the pump impeller of which can be driven by the driving shaft of the internal combustion engine and that, by means of a fluid in the form of a working medium, drives the turbine wheel that in turn is operatively connected with the shaft of the air compressor that is to be operated.
