Abstract
Abstract A dual turbine turbocharger for an engine comprising a first turbine wheel and a second turbine wheel mounted on a common shaft in a dual scroll turbine housing for receiving exhaust gases. The twin turbines are isolated from each other by a partition separating the dual scrolls of the turbine housing. The scrolls begin as separate inlet ports for connection to isolated exhaust gas discharge systems.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
Turbocharger apparatus for use with a piston/cylinder internal combustion engine having an intake manifold and two totally discrete exhaust manifolds connected to and fed by respective two discrete groups of pistons/cylinders, comprising: a turbocharger having a first turbine, a second turbine and a compressor wheel connected by a common drive-train; first conduit means for connecting one of the exhaust manifolds to said first turbine; second conduit means for connecting the other of the exhaust manifolds to said second turbine; valving means communicating with said first and second conduit means for directing exhaust gas flow selectively from both of said conduit means to said first turbine or alternatively directing flow from said first conduit means to said first turbine and directing flow from said second conduit means to said second turbine; and third conduit means for connecting the output of said compressor wheel to the intake manifold of the engine.
