  • Patent number: 11795894
    Abstract: An intake system of an engine including an intake manifold, which includes an intake air introducing pipe and a plurality of independent intake pipes, is provided. Each of the independent intake pipes has an arc shape surrounding the intake air introducing pipe from outside with a space. A first independent intake pipe is curved more in the cylinder lined-up direction than a second. From the side in the cylinder lined-up direction, the arc shape of the second independent intake pipe is more distant from the intake air introducing pipe. To a first member constituting part of the intake air introducing pipe, a second member is joined to form the arc shape of the first independent intake pipe. A third member disposed radially outward from the first member is joined to the second member to form the arc shape of the second independent intake pipe.

  • Patent number: 11499509
    Abstract: An exhaust gas recirculation system for a multi-cylinder engine is provided, which includes an exhaust manifold connected to a cylinder head, a catalyst connected to a downstream end of the exhaust manifold in terms of an exhaust gas flow, an EGR gas outlet provided downstream of the catalyst, an in-head EGR passage penetrating the cylinder head, and an EGR pipe extending from the EGR gas outlet and directly connected to an inlet of the in-head EGR passage to lead EGR gas thereto. The catalyst is disposed so that the exhaust gas flows therein from a first side to a second side in an engine cylinder lined-up direction. The EGR gas outlet is located on the second side with respect to the center of the engine in the cylinder lined-up direction, and the inlet of the in-head EGR passage is located in the first side with respect to the engine center.
