V engine

A V diesel engine, comprising:

• a first and a second cylinder bank;
• a two-stage forced induction from first and second low-pressure exhaust stream turbochargers and a high-pressure exhaust stream turbocharger;
• exhaust gas return systems;
• intermediate charge air coolers;
• and
• a primary charge air cooler;
• wherein the first and second low-pressure exhaust stream turbochargers and the high-pressure exhaust stream turbocharger are arranged on the end face of each of two cylinder banks above a primary output element of the V diesel engine;
• wherein low-pressure compressors of the first and the second low-pressure exhaust stream turbochargers are connected to an intake housing arranged between the same;
• wherein each of the exhaust gas return systems has an exhaust gas return cooler arranged above each of the first and second cylinder banks, wherein a longitudinal axis of each exhaust gas return cooler is oriented such that a connector of the exhaust gas return cooler is positioned between the exhaust gas return cooler and one of the primary output member and a side of the V diesel engine opposite the primary output member, the connector configured to supply exhaust gas to or discharge exhaust gas from the exhaust gas return cooler;
• wherein each of the intermediate charge air coolers on each cylinder bank is positioned longitudinally with respect to the V diesel engine between the exhaust gas return cooler arranged on the respective cylinder bank and the low-pressure compressors of the turbochargers arranged on the end face of the respective cylinder bank, and said each of the intermediate charge air coolers each is arranged such that each of the intermediate charge air cooler connectors of said each of the intermediate charge air coolers are generally perpendicular to an engine longitudinal axis of the V diesel engine;
• wherein said each of the intermediate charge air cooler connectors is arranged in an end face of said each of the respective intermediate charge air coolers;
• wherein the primary charge air cooler is arranged between the exhaust gas return coolers;
• wherein said primary charge air cooler is arranged above a cylinder head of each cylinder bank;
• and
• wherein a charge air inlet and outlet of the primary charge air cooler are arranged in the direction of the engine longitudinal axis such that the main charge air cooler is configured to flow away from the primary output member.
