An exhaust gas recirculation cooling system for an internal combustion engine that has an exhaust system is provided. The exhaust gas recirculation cooling system comprises a cooling fluid circuit, an exhaust gas recirculation cooler, a turbine, a condenser, and a compressor. The cooling fluid circuit has a quantity of fluid that circulates through the exhaust gas recirculation cooling system and receives heat from the exhaust gas recirculation cooling system. The exhaust gas recirculation cooler is disposed in fluid communication with the exhaust system to receive engine exhaust gas from the engine and to remove heat from the exhaust gas. The exhaust gas recirculation cooler additionally disposed in fluid communication with the cooling fluid circuit. The cooling fluid within the cooling fluid circuit receives heat within the exhaust gas recirculation cooler. The turbine is disposed in fluid communication with the cooling fluid circuit. The turbine converts heat energy within the cooling fluid circuit to mechanical energy. A condenser is disposed in fluid communication with the cooling fluid circuit. The condenser cools fluid within the cooling fluid circuit. The compressor is also disposed in fluid communication with the cooling fluid circuit. The compressor pressurizes the fluid within the cooling fluid circuit and circulates the fluid within the cooling fluid circuit. |
