Abstract
In an internal combustion engine with a first and a second exhaust gas turbocharger, which are installed in a common carrier housing, two exhaust gas turbochargers are arranged so that the two charger axes are at an angle to each other which is in the range of 55-100° and lie in the same plane. As a result, the two exhaust gas streams can be brought together with low turbulence even though the manifold is short, and a more compact set of external dimensions can be obtained for the internal combustion engine.
