Abstract

A cylinder head includes: an exhaust port configured to lead out exhaust gas from combustion chamber; an intake port configured to introduce fresh air into the combustion chamber; an intake air aggregate part configured to aggregate the intake port; and a second EGR pipe in which EGR gas flows, wherein exhaust outlets of the exhaust port and an EGR gas inlet of the second EGR pipe are arranged side-by-side on a flat left side surface, and a fresh air inlet of the intake air aggregate part and an EGR gas outlet of the second EGR pipe are arranged side-by-side on a flat right side surface.

Claims (16)

1. A cylinder head of an engine, comprising:

an exhaust port configured to lead out exhaust gas from combustion chamber;

an intake port configured to introduce fresh air into the combustion chamber; and

an EGR gas passage in which EGR gas flows,

wherein exhaust outlets of the exhaust port and an EGR gas inlet of the EGR gas passage are located on a first side surface of the cylinder head and,

a fresh air inlet communicated to the intake port and an EGR gas outlet of the EGR gas passage are located on a second side surface which is a side opposite to the first side surface.

2. The cylinder head of an engine according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first side surface and the second side surface are flat,

the exhaust outlets of the exhaust port and the EGR gas inlet of the EGR gas passage are arranged side-by-side on the first side surface of the cylinder head and,

the fresh air inlet and the EGR gas outlet of the EGR gas passage are arranged side-by-side on the second side surface.

3. The cylinder head of an engine according to claim 1 , further comprising:
