Abstract (en)

A device for cooling an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) flow of an internal combustion engine comprises a body (2) with an inlet (3) and an outlet (4) for the EGR flow, defining a circuit for the EGR flow, and two heat exchanger modules (5, 6) for cooling the EGR flow, arranged in series or in parallel in the circuit. The device comprises a primary by-pass passage (16) arranged in parallel with both heat exchanger modules (5, 6) and a single valve element (19) pivotally connected within the body (2) around an articulation axis (20), to direct the EGR flow through both heat exchanger modules (5, 6), or through only one of the heat exchanger modules (5), or only through the primary by-pass passage (16). The valve element includes two door portions (19A, 19B) extending from the articulation axis and rigidly connected to each other.
