[0049] This invention proposes a structure that can improve the durability and reliability of EGR / C, and is used in the cooling design process of the intake fixing plate.

[0050] In general, the structure of the EGR with adjustable water-side flow and enhanced intake-side core strength proposed in this utility model mainly includes: a water-side vent flange 1, a first-stage cooling assembly 2, a second-stage cooling assembly 4, and a fixing plate 3. See also... Figure 1 It shows the arrangement of the water-side vent flange 1, the first-stage cooling group 2, the second-stage cooling group 4, and the fixed plate 3.

[0051] The structure proposed in this invention, which improves the durability and reliability of EGR / C, pre-cools the high-temperature gas through a first-stage cooling group 2, and then allows it to enter a second-stage cooling group 4 for heat exchange. This two-stage heat exchange lowers the surface temperature of the fixed plate 3 at the air intake position. Using Struts CCM simulation with an intake temperature of 800℃ and an intake flow rate of 8.33 kg / min, the water inlet temperature in the EGR system equipped with this structure (proposed to improve EGR / C durability and reliability) is set at 90℃ and a water flow rate of 182 L / min.

Figure 10 In traditional water-side EGR designs, the high-temperature zone of the fixed plate is located at the interval of the elongated holes 32, with a maximum temperature of 425°C. However, the temperature in the area of ​​the gas collecting convex shell 31 of the fixed plate in the EGR proposed in this invention is more balanced, with a maximum temperature of 336°C and a surface temperature reduction of 89°C, thus improving the reliability of the EGR.
