  • EGR heat exchanger with continuous deaeration
    Patent number: 9470187
    Abstract: An exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) heat exchange unit having an integrated heat exchange chamber and an integrated deaeration chamber is provided. A coolant opening and a deaeration opening each form direct passageways from the heat exchange chamber to the deaeration chamber. The heat exchange unit is configured to cool exhaust gas flowing through an exhaust gas transfer passage with coolant flowing within the heat exchange chamber and around the transfer passage. The heat exchange unit is configured to be mounted relative to an engine at an incline such that the deaeration opening is configured to evacuate gas from the heat exchange chamber to the deaeration chamber and the flow of coolant into the deaeration chamber through the coolant opening is configured to route the evacuated gas out of the deaeration chamber via the coolant outlet.
