Abstract
An internal combustion engine has a cylinder head with at least one cylinder and a cooled turbine. Each cylinder has at least one outlet opening adjoined by an exhaust line for discharging exhaust gases from the cylinder. The exhaust line issues into an inlet region transitioning into an exhaust gas-conducting flow duct of the turbine. The turbine has at least one rotor mounted on a rotatable shaft in a turbine housing. The turbine has at least one coolant duct which is integrated in the housing and which is delimited and formed by at least one wall of the housing to form a cooling arrangement. The at least one wall of the turbine housing that delimits the at least one coolant duct is provided, at least in regions, with a thermal insulation.
