Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0942166A2] The recirculation channels (6) of at least two neighboring cylinders are combined in a modular exhaust recirculation unit (10). The control valves (7) located in the channels, are also contained in the chamber, and are actuated together. The exhaust is fed via an intake opening into a distribution chamber (11) in the unit. The recirculation channels leading to the cylinder intake channels branch off the chamber. The recirculation channel intakes (8) are sealed by the control valves, which are formed as sealing cones.
