Abstract
The invention relates to an arrangement for power transmission in a combustion engine, comprising an outgoing exhaust pipe, at least one device for absorbing energy from exhaust gases in the exhaust pipe and/or at least one device for compressing air to the engine and a power transmission between at least one of said devices and a crankshaft of the engine. The invention is characterized in that said power transmission comprises power transmission means for the transfer of power via the shearing forces of a viscous medium. By means of the invention an improved power transmission in a turbo compound unit for combustion engines is obtained.
