Abstract: An internal combustion engine, ICE, system, includes a turbocharger having a turbine and a compressor for compressing intake air and feeding the intake air to the ICE. A turbo turbine unit is disposed in an exhaust gas path downstream the turbocharger to receive exhaust gas from the turbocharger. The turbo turbine unit having a turbine wheel, a bearing housing defining an inside volume for containing lubrication oil, and a sealing arrangement positioned in the vicinity of the turbine wheel for preventing lubrication oil from escaping from the inside volume of the bearing housing to an exhaust duct of the turbo turbine unit. A buffer air conduit extends between a selected position at the compressor and a buffer air inlet of the turbo turbine unit. The buffer air inlet is in fluid communication with a buffer air channel inside the turbo turbine unit to direct buffer air to a position in-between axially opposite arranged annular sealing members to provide a counter-pressure against at least one of the annular sealing members.

Abstract: A clamp for connecting a first component end to a second component end is provided. The clamp includes a web extending between a first end and a second end, each end being provided with a connecting device for connecting said web ends to each other so that the clamp encloses the component ends. The clamp further includes an alignment structure, which alignment structure is configured to fit with corresponding engagement structures provided at the first component end and the second component end for circumferentially positioning the clamp relative to the component ends.
