Abstract: An exhaust power recovery system for internal combustion engines. The engine exhaust gases drive a gas turbine that in turn drives a hydraulic turbine pump pressurizing a hydraulic fluid which then in turn is the driving source for a hydraulic motor which transmits power to the engine shaft. In a preferred embodiment for a turbocharged engine, the hydraulic fluid is also used as the drive fluid in a hydraulic supercharger system that provides additional supercharging at low engine speeds to supplement the exhaust driven turbocharging system. In this embodiment the pressurized hydraulic fluid for driving the supercharger hydraulic turbine is provided by a pump driven by the engine shaft. A hydraulic fluid control system is provided to match compressed air flow with engine needs. In this preferred embodiment more than enough energy is recovered from the exhaust gasses by the exhaust power recovery system to operate the hydraulic supercharger system. The horsepower of a 280 horsepower turbocharged diesel engine is increased by about 20 percent to about 335 horsepower. As to fuel efficiency, Applicant estimates that a cross country diesel truck operating 12 hours per day, 300 days per year will save between 6,000 and 10,000 pounds of fuel per year with substantial reductions in emitted pollutants.

Abstract: A supercharger system in which an hydraulic driven supercharger shares an hydraulic power system with at least one other hydraulic driven device. The system includes a very high speed radial inflow hydraulic turbine drive driving a compressor for supplying compressed air to an internal combustion engine. Pressurized hydraulic fluid for driving a supercharger hydraulic turbine is provided by a first pump driven by the engine shaft. A second pump provides a higher pressure hydraulic fluid flow for driving at least one other device, such as a power steering device. In a preferred embodiment, when the hydraulic turbine is not needed at high engine speed because sufficient air is provided by a turbosupercharger, a bypass valve is opened by a controller to unload the hydraulic pump and then the controller causes a clutch to decouple the supercharger hydraulic pump from the engine shaft. Each of several preferred embodiments utilize a plastic-metal turbine wheel in which the plastic portion of the wheel other than the blades is solidly anchored within a metal containing wheel. The superchargers provided by the present invention produce immediate response to engine demand for increased combustion air and will dramatically reduce smoke emission during low speed acceleration of bus and truck engines as well as greatly improve engine efficiency. In another preferred hybrid embodiment, the hydraulic turbine drive is mounted on the same shaft with an exhaust driven turbine, and both drive the a compressor providing compressed air to the engine. In a preferred embodiment a novel nozzle body is disclosed having an increased number of nozzles at angles such as to provide substantial exit hole overlapping at nozzle exits to produce an increase of about 7 percent over similar prior art hydraulic turbine driven superchargers.
