Patent ID: 8667795

Claim:
A turbocharged internal combustion engine having: at least one intake for supplying the internal combustion engine with fresh air mixture on an inlet side, a cylinder head having at least two cylinders which are arranged along a cylinder head longitudinal axis and each of which has at least one outlet opening which is adjoined by an exhaust line for discharging exhaust gases out of at least one of the at least two cylinders, with the exhaust lines of at least two cylinders being merged on an outlet side, so as to form an integrated exhaust manifold within the cylinder head, to form an overall exhaust line, and at least one exhaust-gas turbocharger which comprises a turbine arranged in the overall exhaust line and a compressor arranged in the at least one intake, with the turbine having a turbine rotor, which is provided on a charger shaft, and an inlet region for supplying the exhaust gas, and the compressor having a compressor rotor, which is arranged on the charger shaft, and an outlet region for discharging compressed combustion air from the compressor to a plenum, wherein the at least one exhaust-gas turbocharger is arranged in such a way that the charger shaft runs transversely with respect to the cylinder head longitudinal axis, with the turbine being arranged on the outlet side and the compressor being arranged on the inlet side with respect to the cylinder head longitudinal axis, the at least one exhaust-gas turbocharger being at least partially integrated in the cylinder head or a cylinder block of the turbocharged internal combustion engine, and the at least one intake does not curve between the compressor and the plenum.
