【 摘 要 】

Current commercial and heavy-duty powertrains are geared towards emissions reduction. Energy recovery from exhaust gases has great potential, considering the mechanical work to be transferred back to the engine. For this purpose, an additional turbine can be implemented behind a turbocharger; this solution is called turbocompounding (TC). This paper considers the adaptation of turbine wheels and gearboxes of small turboshaft and turbojet engines into a two-stage TC system for a six-cylinder opposed-piston engine that is currently under development. The initial conditions are presented in the first section, while a comparison between small turboshaft and turbojet engines and their components for TC is presented in the second section. Based on the comparative study, a total number of 7 turbojet and 8 turboshaft engines were considered for the TC unit.
