  • Patent number: 6502397
    Abstract: A device for transferring EGR gasses from the exhaust collector of a supercharged internal combustion engine to its inlet conduit includes, besides a supercharge unit, a venturi device having the purpose of sucking the EGR gasses from the exhaust collector into the inlet conduit in order to overcome the high gas pressure in the pressurized charging air in this conduit. In order to adjust the amount of sucked-in EGR gas to the different load points, under which the engine works, an injector tube is arranged in the inlet section to the canal of the venturi device, through which injector tube the EGR gasses are led into the inlet conduit. The free end of this injector tube delimits, together with the surrounding canal wall, a ring-shaped passage, whose cross-sectional area may be varied by an axial relative motion between the injector tube and the venturi device.
