Abstract
Abstract A device for the exhaust gas recirculation on a multi-cylinder diesel internal combustion engine with exhaust manifolds assigned to cylinder groups has manifold parts integrally combined into a twin branch with a common partition wall separating the flows of the two exhaust manifolds, in which partition wall an opening is provided, via which the manifold parts of the two exhaust manifolds are in connection with the exhasut recirculation pipe.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
Device for exhaust gas recirculation on a multi-cylinder diesel internal combustion engine with exhaust manifolds assigned to cylinder groups comprising: manifold parts integrally combined into a twin branch with a common partition wall separating flows of the exhaust manifolds; an exhaust recirculation pipe leading from the manifold parts to an intake pipe; and an exhaust recirculation valve controlling an exhaust gas recirculation rate as a function of operating parameters of the internal combustion engine, the common partition wall between the manifold parts having an opening via which through actuation of the exhaust recirculation valve the manifold parts are in fluid connection with the exhaust recirculation pipe for controlling the rate.
