Abstract
A turbo-supercharging system for an internal combustion engine of a vehicle having an air brake system wherein compressed air is preferentially supplied to the air brake system and surplus air is used for supercharging the engine. The system includes an air compressor driven by the engine, an air reservoir tank for storing compressed air therein and supplying it to a turbine of a turbo-supercharger when required, and a solenoid-operated valve disposed in a conduit interconnecting the air tank and the air compressor. The solenoid-operated valve is normally held in its block position and adapted to be changed over to its communication position when air pressure in the air brake system exceeds a predetermined value.
