Abstract

See full text

A supercharged internal combustion engine, comprising a high-pressure turbine connected to a channel of a low-pressure turbine and a bypass line, branching from upstream the high-pressure turbine, connectable to the channels of the low-pressure turbine via a control element positioned within the bypass line, is provided. Adjusting the control element fluidly connects each of the channels of the low-pressure turbine to the bypass line responsive to the exhaust-gas flow rate to optimize the performance of the engine.
