ABSTRACT:
The object of the invention is to provide a low compression turbocharged diesel engine in which the turbocharger can be operated independently of the engine to power auxiliary equipment. As shown in FIG. 1, fuel and air are burned in a catalytic combustor 17 to drive the turbine wheel of turbine section 11a which is initially caused to rotate by starter motor 9. By opening flapper valve 26, compressed air from blower section 11b is directed to catalytic combustor 17 when it is heated and expanded, serving to drive the turbine wheel and also to heat the catalytic element 32 shown in FIG. 2. To start engine 10, valve 26 is closed, combustion is terminated in catalytic combustor 17, and valve 20 is then opened to utilize air from blower 11b for air driven motor 21. When engine 10 starts, the constituents in its exhaust gas react in the catalytic element 32 and the heat generated provides additional energy for the turbine section 11a.
