Abstract

An internal combustion engine including a cylinder head, a fresh air duct configured for providing a fresh air supply to the internal combustion engine, and a quick-closing valve arranged in the fresh air duct, upstream of the cylinder head of the internal combustion engine, in order to interrupt the fresh air supply. The internal combustion engine also includes an exhaust gas recirculation pipe that has an outlet opening that is arranged centrally in the fresh air duct and, in a flow direction of the fresh air supply, upstream of the quick-closing valve forming a minimum gap between the outlet opening and the quick-closing valve.

Claims (12)

1. An internal combustion engine, comprising:

a cylinder head;

a fresh air duct configured for providing a fresh air supply to the internal combustion engine;

a quick-closing valve arranged in the fresh air duct, upstream of the cylinder head of the internal combustion engine, in order to interrupt the fresh air supply; and

an exhaust gas recirculation pipe having an outlet opening that is arranged centrally in the fresh air duct and, in a flow direction of the fresh air supply, upstream of the quick-closing valve forming a minimum gap between the outlet opening and the quick-closing valve.

2. The internal combustion engine of claim 1 , wherein the exhaust gas recirculation pipe is in the form of an elbow that is used for introducing an exhaust gas into a combustion air.

3. The internal combustion engine of claim 1 , wherein said minimum gap between said outlet opening and said quick-closing valve ensures that a deposit of soot particles, which is contained within an exhaust gas from the exhaust gas recirculation pipe, is not formed in a region of said quick-closing valve.

4. A feeding arrangement for introducing recirculated exhaust gas into a fresh air duct of an internal combustion engine, said feeding arrangement comprising:

a quick-closing valve configured for being arranged in the fresh air duct, upstream of a cylinder head of the internal combustion engine, in order to interrupt a fresh air supply; and

an exhaust gas recirculation pipe having an outlet opening that is configured for being arranged centrally in the fresh air duct and, in a flow direction of the fresh air supply, upstream of the quick-closing valve forming a minimum gap between the outlet opening and the quick-closing valve.

5. The feeding arrangement of claim 4 , wherein the exhaust gas recirculation pipe is in the form of an elbow that is used for introducing an exhaust gas into a combustion air.

6. The feeding arrangement of claim 4 , wherein said minimum gap between said outlet opening and said quick-closing valve ensures that a deposit of soot particles, which is contained within an exhaust gas from the exhaust gas recirculation pipe, is not formed in a region of said quick-closing valve.
