Exhaust pulse pressure charging

Exhaust pulse pressure charging (EPPC) is a system for supercharging two-stroke diesel engines of the loop-scavenge type.

Some of this air is then forced back into the cylinder by a rise in pressure in the exhaust manifold resulting from the exhaust pulse from another cylinder.

For additional pressure charging a turbocharger may be fitted, in series with the Roots blower, but a turbocharger cannot be used alone as it would not provide enough air for scavenging at low speeds.

Exhaust pulse pressure charging was used by Crossley in these diesel locomotive engines:
