METHOD FOR RECIRCULATING A PARTIAL EXHAUST GAS FLOW TO AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

In the present method, a partial flow is guided through a partial flow line connected downstream of an exhaust gas outlet of an internal combustion engine, and is immediately thereafter supplied to an internal combustion engine either via a first valve, a bypass line which is connected directly downstream and a recirculation line. Alternatively, the partial exhaust gas flow can be supplied to the internal combustion engine via a second valve, a radiator which is connected directly downstream and a recirculation line. The first valve and the second valve are opened or closed as a function of the exhaust gas conditions, this being monitored by a sensor. A device for carrying out the method is also disclosed.
