COMBUSTION ENGINE WITH EXHAUST GAS ENERGY RECOVERY AND METHOD FOR OPERATION OF SUCH A COMBUSTION ENGINE

The invention relates to an internal combustion engine, which comprises a turbine device with a first turbine wheel, which is arranged in the exhaust system of the internal combustion engine in such a way that it can be operated with exhaust gas, a compressor device with a first compressor wheel, wherein compressed gas, in particular air, is supplied at least partially to the turbine device by the compressor device, a shaft which is coupled to the first turbine wheel and the first compressor wheel, and a heat exchanger which is thermally connected to the exhaust system in such a way as to transfer waste heat from exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine to compressed gas, in particular air, which is supplied to the turbine device, by the compressor device.
