An exhaust gas recirculation system (100) for reducing emissions which includes an exhaust portion having an outlet housing (108) for collecting exhaust gas from an exhaust manifold (104) of an internal combustion engine. The system also includes an intake portion (110) having an inlet housing (114) for introducing air into an intake manifold (112) of an engine (106). The system also includes a fluid conduit (116) for transporting exhaust gases from the exhaust portion to the intake portion. The conduit includes a first end (118) and a second end (120). The first end (118) is connected to the outlet housing (100) with a slip joint and the second end (120) is connected to the inlet housing (114) with a slip joint, without the need for intermediate bracing. The system includes a plurality of sealing members (200) for sealing the system and allowing for thermal expansion. The sealing members (200) connect the first end (118) to the outlet housing (108) and connect the second end (120) to the inlet housing (114). |
