<p>The present invention relates to a turbo compound transmission, preferably in a heavy duty or medium duty diesel engine, comprising: a turbo compound turbine (27) to be driven by exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine (21); and a coupling (33, 733, 833, 933) comprising a first rotor comprising a mechanical input drive (47) adapted to be driven by the turbine (27), and a second rotor comprising a mechanical output drive (51), the transmission being characterized in that a brake (73) is arranged to brake and limit the rotation of said turbine (27) and where said coupling (33, 733, 833, 933) is arranged to decouple when braking with said brake (73), subjecting the coupling to a torque above a predetermined torque limit. The invention also relates to a method for controlling a turbo compound transmission.</p> |
