Internal combustion engine having a flow that is able to be shut off for increasing torque

Abstract

The invention relates to an internal combustion engine (100). The internal combustion engine (100) has a turbocharger device (10) which has a turbine (12) and a compressor (14) operatively connected to the turbine (12), wherein the turbine (12) has a first flow (12a) and a second flow (12b). The internal combustion engine (100) also has an exhaust gas manifold (20), which fluidically connects together the first flow (12a) and the second flow (12b) with a plurality of cylinders (2) of the internal combustion engine (100). Furthermore, the internal combustion engine (100) has an exhaust gas conduit (30), by means of which a first exhaust gas stream through the first flow (12a) is settable independently of a second exhaust gas stream through the second flow (12b). Finally, the internal combustion engine (100) has a bypass line (40), which the air compressed by the compressor (14) is able to be fed to the turbine (12), bypassing the plurality of cylinders (2).
