The diagram shows the position of the low-pressure (Power2LP) and high-pressure stage
(Power2HP) within two-stage turbocharging (Power2). The low-pressure stage is always op-
erated in combination with a high-pressure stage connected in series. The two-stage tur-
bocharging (Power2) supplies the engine with the air volume and associated charging pres-
sure required for operation.
Here, the exhaust gases of the internal combustion engine flow through the turbine (22) of
the high-pressure stage and subsequently through the bellows (23*) of the gas pipe to the
turbine (24) of the low-pressure stage. The compressor (25) of the low-pressure stage sucks
in fresh air or the air/gas mixture, respectively. This precompressed air or air/gas mixture
flows through the intercooler (26) into the compressor (21) of the high-pressure stage. Here
the air or air/gas mixture is compressed further and leaves the two-stage turbocharging
(Power2) in the direction of the charge air cooler.
