Here is a photo of a Caterpillar diesel turbocompounding system I saw in a magazine. The turbo has a separate free shaft power turbine that helps drive
the crank through a geared drive shaft. This type of free shaft turbine is exactly what we are looking for to extract power from NT/5. I believe the turbo is
made by a company called COMPREX A.G. in Sweden, but I'm not sure. I would like very much to acquire one of these units, please e-mail me if you
have any info on this company.

News to me. I had no idea Caterpillar  was building a turbo compound engine.
I wonder what the blow down turbine weighs?
