Patent number: 7389770Abstract: Apparatus and a process for supplying recirculated exhaust gases to incoming air to a piston-type internal combustion engine. The apparatus includes a duct (2) for incoming air and a feed pipe (1) for exhaust gases and is especially well characterized in that the feed pipe (1) opens out into an outlet section (3) having at least one outlet (4) for the supply of the exhaust gases, which outlet section constitutes an outlet path (a) extended in the longitudinal direction of the duct.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2003Date of Patent: June 24, 2008Assignee: Volvo Lastvagnar ABInventors: Bert-Inge Bertilsson, Robert Vulin, Lennart Aberg

Patent number: 6945235Abstract: Method and arrangement for enhancing exhaust gas recirculation efficiency on a combustion engine by providing a combustion engine having an exhaust system in fluid communication, via at least one juncture, with an exhaust gas recirculation system and locating a reflector in the exhaust system downstream of the at least one juncture. The reflector is adapted to reflect at least a portion of exhaust gas pressure pulses emitting from the combustion engine thereby causing a reflected pressure pulse to occur upstream of the reflector, and deflecting at least a portion of the reflected pressure pulse into the exhaust gas recirculation system thereby enhancing the efficiency of the exhaust gas recirculation system.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2003Date of Patent: September 20, 2005Assignee: Volvo Lastvagner ABInventors: Bert-Inge Bertilsson, Ivar Sahlén, Annika Carlsson
