TURBOCHARGER WITH INTEGRATED EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE

摘要

An Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve is integrated into a turbocharger (16) by providing an EGR outlet (54) in a flange (56) in the volute (52) of the turbine housing (18) and a mating valve assembly (34) extending from a mating flange (71) with an elbow (72). The outlet direction of the elbow is adjustable to a plurality of directions by positioning the mating flange relative to the EGR outlet flange.
