Abstract
A system and method for recovering the unused energy of exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine is provided. A charge device for generating compressed intake air for the internal combustion engine is driven by exhaust gas, and an air compressor having at least one compression stage is connected to the charge device to withdraw at least a partial quantity of the compressed intake air, the partial quantity of the compressed intake air of the charge device that can be withdrawn by the air compressor is adjustable.
