Engine
An engine 1 includes an exhaust manifold, an intake manifold, and an EGR device configured to supply EGR gas from the exhaust manifold to the intake manifold. An upper end of the EGR cooler extended downward is attached to a downwardly extending attachment part provided to the exhaust manifold.
1. An engine, comprising:
an exhaust manifold, an intake manifold, and an EGR device configured to supply EGR gas from the exhaust manifold to the intake manifold, wherein
an EGR cooler is attached under an attachment part provided to the exhaust manifold,
wherein an EGR pipe and the exhaust manifold are integrally formed so that the EGR cooler is supported at only one position with respect to the exhaust manifold.
2. The engine according to claim 1 , wherein:
the EGR cooler comprises a cooling unit configured to cool the EGR gas, and a switching valve configured to control an inflow of the EGR gas to the cooling unit, and
the switching valve blocks the inflow of the EGR gas to the cooling unit, when the temperature of the EGR gas from the exhaust manifold is not more than a predetermined temperature, and allows the inflow of the EGR gas to the cooling unit, when the temperature of the EGR gas from the exhaust manifold is higher than the predetermined temperature.
3. The engine according to claim 1 , wherein the attachment part comprises a first opening configured to supply the EGR gas from the exhaust manifold to the EGR cooler, and a second opening configured to supply the EGR gas from the EGR cooler to the EGR pipe, and the first opening and the second opening are arranged next to each other.
4. The engine according to claim 1 , wherein an upper end of the EGR cooler has a supply port into which the EGR gas is supplied and a discharge port from which the EGR gas is discharged, and the EGR cooler has therein a U-shaped path that connects to the supply port and the discharge port.
