A turbocharger system for an internal combustion engine having at least one exhaust line for evacuating exhaust gases from the combustion chamber of the engine and at least on inlet line for supplying air to the combustion chamber. A high-pressure turbine interacts with a high-pressure compressor and a low-pressure turbine interacts with a low-pressure compressor to extract energy from the exhaust flow of the engine and pressurize the inlet air of the engine. Both compressor stages are of the radial type and are provided with compressor wheels having backswept blades, in which a blade angle between an imaginary extension of the blade along the centerline between root section and tip section in the direction of the outlet tangent and a line connecting the center axis of the compressor wheel to the outer point of the blade, is at least about 40 degrees.

An internal combustion engine exhaust gas system includes an EGR arrangement adapted to lead a first flow of exhaust gas, the EGR flow, from an outlet side of the engine to an inlet side of the engine, an exhaust gas conduit adapted to lead away a second flow of exhaust gas, the exhaust flow, from the outlet side of the engine, and an energy recovering unit, such as a turbo, associated with the exhaust gas conduit. The unit is adapted to recover exhaust gas energy from the exhaust flow. The system includes a heat exchanger adapted to allow heat exchange between at least a part of the EGR flow and at least a part of the exhaust flow, the heat exchanger being associated with the exhaust gas conduit at a position downstream the energy recovering unit.

A piston engine and a method for controlling a diesel-type piston engine including at least one combustion chamber formed by a cylinder, a movably arranged piston in each cylinder, which piston is connected to a crankshaft, an injection device designed to inject fuel directly into the combustion chamber and turbo system comprising a low pressure turbo and a high pressure turbo. The thermal efficiency of the internal combustion is increased while requirements relating to nitrogen oxide and soot particle emissions continue to be maintained.

A turbocharger system for an internal combustion engine having at least one exhaust line for evacuating exhaust gases from the combustion chamber of the engine and at least one inlet line for supplying air to the combustion chamber. A high-pressure turbine interacts with a high-pressure compressor forming a high-pressure turbo unit with a common rotation axis. A low-pressure turbine interacts with a low-pressure compressor forming a low-pressure turbo unit with a common rotation axis. The high-pressure turbo unit and the low-pressure turbo unit are serially placed with the rotation axes essentially concentric and with the high-pressure turbine and the low-pressure turbine placed adjacent to each other and coupled together by an intermediate piece configured as a flow duct. The low-pressure turbo unit () is attached to one part of the internal combustion engine, while the high-pressure turbo unit is attached to another part of the engine.

A piston engine and a method for controlling a diesel-type piston engine including at least one combustion chamber formed by a cylinder. A movably arranged piston is provided in each cylinder is connected to a crankshaft. An injection device is provided that is configured to inject fuel directly into the combustion chamber. Thermal efficiency of the internal combustion engine can be increased while at the same time requirements relating to nitrogen oxide and soot particle emissions can also be maintained.
