Abstract
An internal combustion engine with a device for controlled recirculation of exhaust gas into intake ducts via an exhaust gas recirculation line connected to the engine's exhaust system. Rapid response behaviour is achieved by providing an exhaust gas recirculation port in each intake duct in the immediate vicinity of the cylinders, which port communicates with a distributing device supplied via an exhaust gas recirculation line, and by providing the distributing device with an adjusting element which is configured to jointly control the flow cross-sections of the exhaust gas recirculation ports.
Claims15
An internal combustion engine comprising a plurality of cylinders;
- a plurality of intake ducts respectively connected to said cylinders for delivering air thereto, said intake ducts having recirculation ports for exhaust gas;
- an exhaust system connected to said cylinder for removing exhaust gas from said cylinders;
- and
- an exhaust gas recirculation system connected between said exhaust system and said recirculation ports, said exhaust gas recirculation system including a distributing device containing an adjusting element which controls flow cross-sections of said recirculation ports, said adjusting element including a bore which defines a predetermined small opening cross-section for exhaust gas recirculation.
An internal combustion engine comprising a plurality of cylinders;
- a plurality of intake ducts respectively connected to said cylinders for delivering air thereto, said intake ducts having recirculation ports for exhaust gas;
- an exhaust system connected to said cylinder for removing exhaust gas from said cylinders;
- and
- an exhaust gas recirculation system connected between said exhaust system and said recirculation ports, said exhaust gas recirculation system including a distributing device containing an adjusting element which controls flow cross-sections of said recirculation ports, said adjusting element defining at least two separate flow channels for individual cylinders or groups of cylinders.
