Abstract
Abstract An internal combustion has an exhaust gas line, an exhaust gas heat exchanger through which exhaust gas withdrawn through the exhaust gas line passes so as to take heat energy, a heating heat exchanger to which the withdrawn heat energy is made available and which is connected to a cooling fluid circuit of the internal combustion engine, an exhaust gas turbocharger provided with a turbine housing and a turbine wheel rotatable in the latter, the exhaust gas turbocharger being arranged in the exhaust gas line, the exhaust gas heat exchanger being connected heat conductively with the turbine housing of the exhaust gas turbocharger for withdrawing of heat from the exhaust gas which passes through the turbine wheel.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
An internal combustion engine, comprising an exhaust gas line; an exhaust gas heat exchanger through which exhaust gas withdrawn through said exhaust gas line passes so as to take heat energy; a heating heat exchanger to which the withdrawn heat energy is made available and which is connected to a cooling fluid circuit of the internal combustion engine; and exhaust gas turbocharger provided with a turbine housing and a turbine wheel rotatable in the latter, said exhaust gas turbocharger being arranged in said exhaust gas line, said exhaust gas heat exchanger being arranged heat conductively at said turbine housing of said exhaust gas turbocharger for withdrawing of heat from the exhaust gas which passes through said turbine wheel, said turbine housing being formed at least partially with an additional wall and forming a hollow chamber provided with an inlet connection and an outlet connection for supplying and withdrawing of heat receiving cooling fluid upstream of said heat exchanger.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
158 words
An internal combustion engine, comprising an exhaust gas line; an exhaust gas heat exchanger through which exhaust gas withdrawn through said exhaust gas line passes so as to take heat energy; a heating heat exchanger to which the withdrawn heat energy is made available and which is connected to a cooling fluid circuit of the internal combustion engine; and exhaust gas turbocharger provided with a turbine housing and a turbine wheel rotatable in the latter, said exhaust gas turbocharger being arranged in said exhaust gas line, said exhaust gas heat exchanger being arranged heat conductively at said turbine housing of said exhaust gas turbocharger for withdrawing of heat from the exhaust gas which passes through said turbine wheel, said turbine housing being formed at least partially with an additional wall and forming a hollow chamber provided with an inlet connection and an outlet connection for supplying and withdrawing of heat receiving cooling fluid upstream of said heat exchanger.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
74 words
An internal combustion engine as defined in claim 1 ; and further comprising a heating line leading to said heating heat exchanger; a directional valve arranged in said heating line; and a supply line leading from said directional valve to said exhaust gas heat exchanger, said directional valve being controllable so that cooling fluid which comes through said heating line is controllably distributed to said heating heat exchanger and/or said exhaust gas heat exchanger.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
An internal combustion engine as defined in claim 1 , wherein said directional valve is electrically controllable.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
An internal combustion engine as defined in claim 1 , wherein said directional is a 3/2 directional valve.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
219 words
An internal combustion engine, comprising an exhaust gas line, an exhaust gas heat exchanger through which exhaust gas withdrawn through said exhaust gas line passes so as to take heat energy; a heating heat exchanger to which the withdrawn heat energy is made available and which is connected to a cooling fluid circuit of the internal combustion engine; exhaust gas turbocharger provided with a turbine housing and a turbine wheel rotatable in the latter, said exhaust gas turbocharger being arranged in said exhaust gas line, said exhaust gas heat exchanger being arranged heat conductively at said turbine housing of said exhaust gas turbocharger for withdrawing of heat from the exhaust gas which passes through said turbine wheel; a heating line leading to said heating heat exchanger; a directional valve arranged in said heating line; a supply line leading from said directional valve to said exhaust gas heat exchanger, said directional valve being controllable so that cooling fluid which comes through said heating line is controllably distributed to said heating heat exchanger and/or said exhaust gas heat exchanger, said directional valve being formed as 3/2 directional valve; and a check valve located between said outlet connection of said exhaust gas heat exchanger and an inlet side of said heating heat exchanger, said check valve being openable toward said heat exchanger.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
219 words
An internal combustion engine, comprising an exhaust gas line, an exhaust gas heat exchanger through which exhaust gas withdrawn through said exhaust gas line passes so as to take heat energy; a heating heat exchanger to which the withdrawn heat energy is made available and which is connected to a cooling fluid circuit of the internal combustion engine; exhaust gas turbocharger provided with a turbine housing and a turbine wheel rotatable in the latter, said exhaust gas turbocharger being arranged in said exhaust gas line, said exhaust gas heat exchanger being arranged heat conductively at said turbine housing of said exhaust gas turbocharger for withdrawing of heat from the exhaust gas which passes through said turbine wheel; a heating line leading to said heating heat exchanger; a directional valve arranged in said heating line; a supply line leading from said directional valve to said exhaust gas heat exchanger, said directional valve being controllable so that cooling fluid which comes through said heating line is controllably distributed to said heating heat exchanger and/or said exhaust gas heat exchanger, said directional valve being formed as 3/2 directional valve; and a check valve located between said outlet connection of said exhaust gas heat exchanger and an inlet side of said heating heat exchanger, said check valve being openable toward said heat exchanger.
