Abstract: An EGR cooler including a flat box shell having an inlet for introducing cooling water and an outlet for discharging the cooling water, plates positioned at axial open ends of the shell to close the axial open ends thereof, hoods positioned at sides of the plates away from the shell to enclose end faces of the plates, tubes extending within the shell and having ends penetrating through the plates, the tubes for passing exhaust gas from one hood to the other for thermal exchange with the cooling water, guide plates curved away from the axial extension of the shell toward longer sides of the end face of the shell and provided in the hood on an inlet side of the exhaust gas, a bar positioned between the guide plates and extending in a direction of shorter sides of the end face of the shell for dividing a stream of the exhaust gas.

Abstract: An EGR cooler including a cylindrical shell having a cooling water inlet for introducing cooling water into the shell at one axial end, a cooling water outlet for discharging the cooling water from the shell at the other axial end, and a bypass outlet for pulling out part of the cooling water at a position diametrically opposed to the cooling water inlet, plates positioned at axial ends of the shell so as to close the axial ends of the shell, hoods positioned at sides of the plates away from the shell so as to enclose end faces of the plates, and tubes extending axially within the shell and having ends penetrating through the plates. The tubes passes exhaust gas from one of the hoods to the other hood for thermal exchange of the exhaust gas with the cooling water.
