ABSTRACT:
A turbo compound engine constructed in a manner such that the crankshaft of the engine and a power turbine disposed in the exhaust gas passage are connected to each other by a gear train during exhaust braking with the rotation of the crankshaft being transmitted to the power turbine. The power turbine imposes a negative work on the crankshaft as a braking force. A speed-change mechanism is provided in the gear train to adjust the transmitting revolution speed from the crankshaft to the power turbine and is controlled by a controller based on driving conditions of the vehicle, so that a suitable braking force is applied to the crankshaft.
