-11- Abstract of the Disclosure Turbocompound Engine Having Power Turbine Output Connected to the Timing Gear Turbocompound engines recover power from the exhaust exiting a turbocharger. Turbocompounding of known engines feed the power back into the flywheel at the rear of the engine requiring new and expensive regearing of the starter gear or ring gear on the flywheel. Maintenance or servicing of the compound components at the rear of the engines is difficult. To overcome the problems, power is fed into the timing gears located at an end of the engine. The mechanism for transmitting power includes a driving mechanism, a fluid coupler mechanism and a connecting mechanism attached to the timing gears. Thus, existing timing gears are used which are already machined and designed for continual load carrying capacity. The compound portion of the turbocompound engine is located at the side between the ends of the engine near the front and top of the engine allowing for excellent maintenance and serviceability.
