1. A supercharged combustion engine comprising:

  • the engine having an inlet to the engine and having an outlet from the engine for exhaust gas;

    a system for exhaust gas feedback from the engine outlet to the engine inlet, the system comprising;

    an inlet system to the engine inlet;

    a turbo-type supercharger in the inlet system to the engine inlet;

    an exhaust gas line from the engine outlet;

    the exhaust gas line is divided into a first exit line from the engine outlet, a second exit line from the engine outlet, and a third exit line from the engine outlet, the third exit line being in parallel with the second exit line from the engine outlet;

    a first compressor in the first exit line operable for driving exhaust gases from the engine outlet to the engine inlet;

    a first turbine in the second exit line for driving the first compressor, the first turbine also communicating with the engine outlet to be driven by the exhaust gases in the outlet to, in turn, drive the first compressor;

    the supercharger having a second turbine in the third line for driving the supercharger;

    an exhaust brake downstream of the second turbine in the third exit line;

    a first valve in the first exit line upstream of the first compressor for acting on the exhaust gas flow through the first exit line and to the first compressor based on parameters of the engine operating state;

    a second valve in the second exit line to the first turbine for acting on the exhaust gases to the first turbine based on parameters of the engine operating state;

    a third valve in the first exit line downstream of the first compressor for acting on the exhaust gas flow through the first exit line based on parameters of the engine operating state;

    a control system for the engine which transmits signals representative of parameters of the engine operating state for operating the first, second and third valves so that the first and third valves may prevent gas flow through the first exit line.
