Abstract
The turbocharging plant of an internal combustion engine includes two turbines connected in series, of which one drives the compressor and the other transfer its output to the engine mechanically. The turbines and the compressor are mounted at the same side of the engine. The turbines can be designed to handle the gas in a radially inwards directed flow, the downstream turbine being mounted at a lower level than the upstream one, and receiving the gas by way of a double volute device. A third turbine designed to handle the gas in a radially outwards directed flow may be interposed between the two first mentioned turbines.
