INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE, IN PARTICULAR FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to an internal combustion engine (10), in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising an intake duct (16) via which air can be delivered to the internal combustion engine (10) and in which, in the flow direction of the air through the intake duct (16), a first compressor (20) of a first exhaust gas turbocharger (22) is disposed and a second compressor (26) of a second exhaust gas turbocharger (28) is arranged downstream of the first compressor (20), wherein said second compressor is series-connected to said first compressor (20) and can compress the air. The internal combustion engine further comprises an exhaust gas duct (40) through which exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine (10) can flow and in which a first turbine (42) of the first exhaust gas turbocharger (22) by means of which the first compressor (20) can be driven and at least one second turbine (46) of the second exhaust gas turbocharger (28) by means of which the second compressor (26) can be driven are arranged, wherein the turbines (42, 46) are connected in parallel to one another with regard to the flow of the exhaust gas through the exhaust gas duct (40).
