Abstract
A piston internal-combustion engine, with an exhaust gas collector and a charge air collector, having a supercharging operation, has at least three exhaust gas turbochargers fastened next to one another to the side wall of a gas-tight box. The exhaust gas collector of the engine is connected with a first exhaust gas inlet of a first exhaust gas turbine of a first exhaust gas turbocharger. The first exhaust gas turbocharger is centrally located among the three exhaust turbochargers and an exhaust gas flow divider is rotatably arranged on the first exhaust gas outlet such that, in a first position, the exhaust gas flow divider connects the first exhaust gas outlet of the central exhaust gas turbocharger with the second exhaust gas inlets of the two adjacent exhaust gas turbochargers and, in a second position, the exhaust gas flow divider connects the first exhaust gas outlet of the central exhaust gas turbocharger directly to an exhaust pipe.
