Abstract:
1. A method of compounding at least two rotary engines, the method comprising: drivingly engaging a pressure turbine and a compressor in a turbocharger such as to drive the compressor with the pressure turbine; drivingly engaging each rotary engine and a velocity turbine to an output shaft by placing the velocity turbine between two of the rotary engines along the output shaft; circulating a compressor exhaust flow from an outlet of the compressor into an inlet port of each rotary engine; circulating an engine exhaust flow from an exhaust port of each rotary engine into an inlet of the velocity turbine; and circulating a velocity turbine exhaust flow from an outlet of the velocity turbine into an inlet of the pressure turbine of the turbocharger.
