Drive system for motor vehicles

摘要

The power system consists of an i.c. engine (1) with gas inlet (2) and exhaust (3) systems, and a pressurised gas accumulator (4) linked to a control unit (5). The accumulator has an outlet (13) connected through a valve (14) to a turbocompressor (15) which injects gas back into the engine. The intake (6) of the gas accumulator is connected to the engine's exhaust system via a two-way valve (7) connected to the accumulator and the main exhaust pipe, with a non-return valve between the two-way valve and accumulator.
