ABSTRACT:
A turbo compound engine comprising an engine having an output shaft and an exhaust line, a power recovering turbine disposed at the exhaust line, a gear train connecting the power recovering turbine with the output shaft of the engine, and a power reversing mechanism including a hydraulic clutch provided with the gear train, so that energy utilized by the power turbine may serve as braking effort against the vehicle upon switching of the power reversing mechanism, and a large load may not be applied to the gear train all at once by allowing the hydraulic clutch to slip during a certain period from the switching of the power reversing mechanism, thereby protecting the drive power transmission system of the vehicle and improving driveability.
