## Abstract

An engine system having a turbocharger may include a cylinder head at which an intake manifold and an exhaust manifold may be placed, the turbocharger connected to the exhaust manifold to compress intake air by a first exhaust gas exhausted from the exhaust manifold, an intake line that may be formed between the turbocharger and the intake manifold through the cylinder head to deliver a compressed air compressed by the turbocharger, an intercooler placed between the intake line and the intake manifold to cool the compressed air, an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) line that recirculates a second exhaust gas that may be exhausted from the exhaust manifold to the intake manifold, and an EGR cooler that may be placed between the EGR line and the intake manifold to cool an EGR gas, wherein a low temperature coolant passing through the cylinder head cools the compressed air.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An engine system having a turbocharger, comprising:
a cylinder head at which an intake manifold and an exhaust manifold are placed;
the turbocharger that is connected to the exhaust manifold and compresses intake air by a first exhaust gas that is exhausted from the exhaust manifold;
an intake line that is formed between the turbocharger and the intake manifold through the cylinder head to deliver a compressed air that is compressed by the turbocharger;
an intercooler that is placed between the intake line and the intake manifold to cool the compressed air;
an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) line that recirculates a second exhaust gas that is exhausted from the exhaust manifold to the intake manifold; and
an EGR cooler that is placed between the EGR line and the intake manifold to cool an EGR gas,
wherein a low temperature coolant passing through the cylinder head cools the compressed air,
wherein the intercooler and the EGR cooler are water cooled types that cool the compressed air by the low temperature coolant circulating through a low temperature coolant line that is different from an engine coolant line that cools the cylinder head, and
wherein the low temperature coolant line passes through the intercooler and the EGR cooler, then passes through the cylinder head to cool the compressed air passing through the cylinder head via the intake line, and circulates through a low temperature pump and a low temperature radiator mounted on the low temperature coolant line.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The engine system having the turbocharger of claim 1, wherein the intercooler and the EGR cooler are combined with the intake manifold.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The engine system having the turbocharger of claim 2, wherein the intercooler is combined with the EGR cooler.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The engine system having the turbocharger of claim 2, wherein the EGR gas that is cooled by the EGR cooler is mixed with the intake air that is cooled by the intercooler in the intake manifold.

### Claim 5

An engine system having a turbocharger, comprising:
a cylinder head at which an intake manifold and an exhaust manifold are placed;
the turbocharger that is connected to the exhaust manifold and compresses intake air by a first exhaust gas that is exhausted from the exhaust manifold;
an intake line that is formed between the turbocharger and the intake manifold through the cylinder head to deliver a compressed air that is compressed by the turbocharger;
an intercooler that is placed between the intake line and the intake manifold to cool the compressed air;
an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) line that recirculates a second exhaust gas that is exhausted from the exhaust manifold to the intake manifold; and
an EGR cooler that is placed between the EGR line and the intake manifold to cool an EGR gas,
wherein a low temperature coolant passing through the cylinder head cools the compressed air,
wherein the intercooler and the EGR cooler are water cooled types that cool the compressed air by the low temperature coolant circulating through a low temperature coolant line that is different from an engine coolant line that cools the cylinder head, and
wherein a compressed air passage penetrating the cylinder head has a cylindrical shape corresponding to the intake line and connected thereto, and a low temperature coolant passage is formed around the compressed air passage and connected to the low temperature coolant line to supply the low temperature coolant.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The engine system having the turbocharger of claim 5, wherein the low temperature coolant line passes through the cylinder head to cool the compressed air flowing through the cylinder head via the intake line, then sequentially passes through the intercooler and the EGR cooler, and circulates through a low temperature radiator and a low temperature pump mounted on the low temperature coolant line.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The engine system having the turbocharger of claim 5, wherein the intercooler and the EGR cooler are combined with the intake manifold.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The engine system having the turbocharger of claim 7, wherein the intercooler is combined with the EGR cooler.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The engine system having the turbocharger of claim 7, wherein the EGR gas that is cooled by the EGR cooler is mixed with the intake air that is cooled by the intercooler in the intake manifold.
