Claims
- 1. A charged internal combustion engine (1) including:
(a) at least one stage of charging by a turbocharger (3); (b) at least one supplemental compressor (4) connected to the turbocharger; (c) an air filter assembly, wherein the air filter assembly includes the supplemental compressor (4); (c) an electric motor (5) drive for the supplemental compressor (4); and (d) at least one closing (11) or switching (8) means provided between the supplemental compressor (4) and the turbocharger (3), wherein an electronic control device (40) is present to regulate operation of the supplemental compressor (4) and the closing (11) or switching (8) means.
- 2. The charged internal combustion engine (1) as in claim 1, wherein the supplemental compressor is integrated in an air filter casing.
- 3. The charged internal combustion engine (1) as in claim 1, wherein the supplemental compressor is mounted on an air filter casing.
- 4. The charged internal combustion engine (1) of claim 1, wherein an electronic control device is present to regulate operation of the supplemental compressor and the closing or switching means.
- 5. The charged internal combustion engine (1) of claim 4, wherein the control of the supplemental compressor (4) is a subsystem in the central internal combustion engine control (41).
- 6. The charged internal combustion engine (1) of claim 5, wherein, wherein the partial systems are connected to each other with a bus system (45).
- 7. The charged internal combustion engine (1) of claim 1, wherein the control means for the supplemental compressor (4) is separate from the internal combustion engine control (41).
- 8. The charged internal combustion engine (1) as in claim 7, wherein the parameters monitored as to the engine operational condition provide an input value for the control electronics.
- 9. The charged internal combustion engine (1) of claim 1, wherein the control of the supplemental compressor (4) is a subsystem of the vehicle system.
- 10. The charged internal combustion engine (1) as in claim 9, wherein the partial systems are connected to each other with a bus system (45).
