INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

In one exemplary embodiment of the invention, an internal combustion engine includes a turbocharger configured to receive an air flow and a first exhaust flow from the internal combustion engine and a supercharger downstream of the turbocharger configured to receive a compressed air charge from the turbocharger. The engine further includes an exhaust gas recirculation circuit receiving a second exhaust flow from the internal combustion engine and supplying the second exhaust flow to the compressed air charge upstream of the supercharger, wherein the second exhaust flow and compressed air charge comprise an exhaust-air mixed flow received by the internal combustion engine.
