An EGR device includes a plurality of EGR inlet pipes connected to each of the plurality of intake branch passages, an exhaust gas inlet passage conveying a portion of the exhaust gas as EGR gas, an upstream-side branch passage in communication with the exhaust gas inlet passage and branching the EGR gas, and a downstream-side branch passage distributing the EGR gas branched in the upstream-side branch passage to the plurality of EGR inlet pipes. The downstream-side branch passage extends in a direction parallel to an arrangement direction of the plurality of cylinders. At least one of the exhaust gas inlet passage and the upstream-side branch passage is configured to suppress flow to a downstream side of condensed water located upstream of the downstream-side branch passage when acceleration in a direction parallel to the arrangement direction is applied to the internal combustion engine.
An EGR device provided in an internal combustion engine having a plurality of cylinders arranged in series in a horizontal direction and a plurality of intake branch passages connected to each of the plurality of cylinders, comprising:
The EGR device according to claim 9, wherein
The EGR device according to claim 9, wherein the internal combustion engine is mounted on the vehicle so that the arrangement direction coincides with a direction perpendicular to a vehicle width direction and the exhaust gas inlet passage extends inclined in a direction of acceleration applied to the internal combustion engine by acceleration of a vehicle from an upstream side toward a downstream side.
