Abstract
An internal combustion engine comprises includes a turbo-compound and the known Föttinger-coupling is replaced by a torsion vibration damper. The Föttinger-coupling, which is used to transmit power, has high losses in power when it is necessary to have a differential rotational speed between the input side and the output side, that is, the appearance of a slip. The losses are not used in a torsion vibration damper which has at least the same quality as a Föttinger-coupling.
