Hydraulic drive supercharger for internal combustion engines
A supercharger is described for an internal combustion engine comprising a housing, a shaft journaled in the housing and supporting on either end an air compressor; a turbine wheel centrally journaled to the shaft and means for directing pressure oil to the turbine wheel and thence from the housing. The compressors comprise vaned compressors with the curvature of the vanes being in opposite directions at opposite ends of the shaft. The supercharger is combined with an internal combustion engine having an inlet header and an exhaust system wherein one of the compressors is connected by a conduit to the internal combustion engine inlet header and the other of the compressors is connected by a conduit to the exhaust system of the internal combustion engine.
