Abstract

An engine with an EGR device includes an engine case, and an EGR pipe that introduces an EGR gas into an intake path. The EGR pipe is arranged to pass through an inside of the engine case. A part of the EGR pipe in the engine case is arranged to face a cooling water path in the engine case. The engine case is defined by a cylinder head. The cooling water path is arranged to surround a whole circumference of the EGR pipe.

Claims (14)

1. An engine with an EGR device comprising:

an engine case; and

an EGR pipe that introduces an EGR gas into an intake path, the EGR pipe being arranged to pass through an inside of the engine case,

wherein

a part of the EGR pipe in the engine case is arranged to face a cooling water path in the engine case,

a case end portion formed by an end portion of the engine case is partially expanded to an outer side,

the EGR pipe is arranged in an expanded portion of the case end portion expanded toward the outer side,

the cooling water path includes a lower water path located at a lower portion of the engine case and an outer peripheral water path formed at an outer periphery of the EGR pipe at an expanded side,

the engine case is provided with a guide portion, which guides cooling water, in a portion of the EGR pipe at an outer side in a radial direction, in the cooling water path, and

the guide portion includes a guide body protruded into the lower water path at a lower portion of the EGR pipe, and a circumferential guide portion protruded into a half of the outer peripheral water path so as to surround a half of the EGR pipe.

2. The engine with the EGR device according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling water path is formed to surround the EGR pipe.

3. The engine with the EGR device according to claim 2 , wherein the EGR pipe is formed of an aluminum alloy.

4. The engine with the EGR device according to claim 1 , wherein the EGR pipe is formed of an aluminum alloy.

5. The engine with the EGR device according to claim 1 , wherein the engine case is defined by a cylinder head.
