  • Patent number: 7895993
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an internal combustion engine (1), in particular for a vehicle, having at least one exhaust gas recirculation line (13) for externally recirculating exhaust gases from an exhaust gas side of the internal combustion engine (1) to a fresh air side of the internal combustion engine (1). To provide a cost-effective and compact design, a combination valve (14) is situated in the exhaust gas recirculation line (13), said combination valve (14) serving to set the quantity of the exhaust has recirculated from the exhaust gas side to the fresh air side and to block a counterflow from the fresh air side in the direction of the exhaust gas side.

  • Patent number: 7353811
    Abstract: An exhaust gas recirculation device for an internal combustion engine, in particular in a motor vehicle, includes a recirculation line and a fresh gas line section. A Venturi nozzle is designed in an inlet area of the fresh gas line section. The recirculation line opens into the fresh gas line section in a low pressure area of the Venturi nozzle. The Venturi nozzle has a variable flow cross section to allow exhaust gas recirculation in the largest possible operating range of the internal combustion engine.
