Abstract
An engine braking system is provided for an internal combustion engine of the Otto or Diesel type fitted with an exhaust gas supercharger and an air-to-air intercooler driven by a turbofan and having a gas compression relief type of engine brake. A control valve is provided in the gas flow passage communicating with the turbofan which drives the air-to-air intercooler using air compressed by the supercharger. The control valve is actuated automatically to inhibit flow of air through the turbofan whenever the gas compression relief engine brake is operated.
