A monitoring arrangement for a turbo compound engine system in which there is disposed a fluid drive hydrodynamic coupling (16) between an exhaust gas-driven power turbine (3) and a drive shaft (5) included in a combustion engine (2). A temperature transducer (12) is disposed in a casing (13) surrounding the coupling (16). When the transducer (12) senses excessively high temperature, a signal is emitted to a governor unit (10) which reduces the power output of the engine. The invention protects the coupling (16) from failure if the oil flow is reduced or disrupted. |
