Exhaust gas cooling device

An exhaust gas cooling device for a hot gas source, the exhaust cooling device comprising:

• a housing with an axis of symmetry connectable to an exhaust gas line of the hot gas source;
• a venturi assembly coupled to the housing for introducing exhaust gas and ambient air;
• and
• an outlet line discharging an exhaust gas/ambient air mixture into the environment;
• wherein the venturi assembly has a venturi channel fluidically coupled to the exhaust gas line and an inlet opening for ambient air which is delimited by the venturi channel and the exhaust gas line, wherein the venturi channel is used for guiding the exhaust gas/ambient air mixture and the inlet opening opens into a mixing chamber;
• wherein the venturi channel includes a downstream end face defining an outlet opening and the outlet line has an inflow opening;
• wherein the outlet opening and the inflow opening are spaced apart from one another;
• and
• wherein the outlet opening of the venturi channel and the inflow opening of the outlet line are in fluid communication with mixing chamber,
• wherein the outlet opening of the venturi channel and the inflow opening of the outlet line are positioned in an alignment;
• and
• wherein a deflector element is provided between the outlet opening and the inflow opening, the deflector element effecting a deflection in a direction having a direction component at right angles to a gas discharge direction of the outlet opening.
