I modified my last post here and should have reposted a reply so the thread got bumped.  Here is.

There are currently two on road Diesel's with PRT's (Power Recovery Turbines) and they are the Detroit Diesel DD15 and DD16.  Detroit calls them "Turbo Compounding".  After the simple turbocharger (no moving vanes) is the turbo compounder which looks like half a turbocharger gear driven into the rear gear drive of the engine.  On a good hard up hill pull, the turbo compounder can add up to 50 horsepower extra for free back into the engine. This is why, no other engine on the market can touch the fuel efficiency of the new DD engines by Detroit Diesel.  Good Luck, TomC
