Abstract: An internal combustion engine system including a cylinder block, a cylinder head attached to the cylinder block, an EGR cooler, and a coolant collector bracket is provided. The cylinder head includes a plurality of coolant passages. The coolant collector bracket is coupled to and between the cylinder head and the EGR cooler. The coolant collector bracket includes a plurality of coolant inlets directly coupled to a plurality of outlets of the plurality of coolant passages of the cylinder head. The coolant collector bracket also includes an EGR coolant outlet directly coupled to an inlet of the EGR cooler. The coolant collector bracket also includes an EGR cooler inlet directly coupled to an outlet of the EGR cooler.

Abstract: A coolant collector bracket including a front side, a back side, and a top side is provided. The back side is opposite the front side and includes a plurality of coolant inlets for receiving coolant from a cylinder head. The top side includes an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler inlet and an EGR coolant outlet. The EGR coolant inlet and the EGR coolant outlet are substantially orthogonal to the plurality of coolant inlets.

Abstract: An exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler for mounting to a coolant collector bracket may include a cooler body having a top, a bottom, a length extending in a longitudinal direction, and a width extending in a lateral direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and at least one mount coupled to the bottom of the cooler body. An interior of the mount may be in fluid communication with an interior of the cooler body. A width of the at least one mount in the lateral direction of the cooler body may be equal to or less than the width of the cooler body. The at least one mount may be positioned such that the mount does not extend beyond the width of the cooler body.
