Re: Disadvantages to the Miller cycle?

A lysholm compressor is a screw-type compressor and it's completely different from a roots compressors. The best advantage from the Lysholm type compressor is its much higher effciency (roots have a really poor efficiency), the drawback is the higher cost.

Turbochargers are used to spool large two strokers, some also use a compressor and a turbocharger. That it isn't used here is probably because a mechanical driven compressor is easier to control.
