OSTI ID:6341957
This patent describes a turbo-compound compressor system including a booster compressor connected to a power recovery turbine disposed downstream of the outlet of an expansion turbine in a turbocharger for an internal combustion engine and drivable by the exhaust gas and a rotary positive-displacement air compressor drivable by the engine. The air is delivered by the booster compressor supplied to the rotary positive-displacement air compressor through a pipeline means having a throttle valve. The improvement comprises a bypass line connected to the pipeline means for preventing surging and having a closing valve.
