An
exhaust gas cooling device (1) for a hot gas source (8), wherein the
exhaust gas cooling device (1) comprises: a housing (3.6) connectable to an
exhaust pipe (1.1) of the hot gas source (8) with an
axis of symmetry (3.5), a Venturi
assembly (5) coupled to the housing (3.6) for introducing
exhaust gas (1.2) and
ambient air (9), and an exhaust gas /
ambient air mixture discharged into the environment (2), wherein the Venturi
assembly (5) has a Venturi channel (5.1) which can be fluidically coupled to the
exhaust pipe (1.1) and an inlet opening (5.2) for
ambient air which is limited by the Venturi channel (5.1) and the
exhaust pipe (1.1), the Venturi channel (5.1) serves to guide exhaust gas-ambient air mixture, wherein the Venturi channel (5.1) has an outlet opening (5.3) and the outlet line (2) has an inlet opening (2.1), wherein the outlet opening (5.3) and the inlet opening (2.1) are spaced apart, and wherein the Venturi channel (5.1) and the outlet
pipe (2) open into the housing (3.6), characterized by a) that the outlet opening (5.3) of the Venturi channel (5.1) and the inlet opening (2.1) of the outlet line (2) are positioned in alignment, wherein a deflection element (4) is provided between the outlet opening (5.3) and the inlet opening (2.1) which causes a deflection in a direction Rq with a directional component perpendicular to the direction of the gas outlet A of the outlet opening (5.3), or b) that the outlet opening (5.3) of the Venturi channel (5.1) causes a gas outlet A directed radially to the
axis of symmetry (3.5), wherein the outlet line (2) with the inlet opening (2.1) causes a gas inlet E directed parallel to the
axis of symmetry (3.5).
