<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an internal combustion engine which includes a supercharger and recirculates to the intake side reformed gas generated by reforming a mixture of exhaust gas and fuel, wherein reduction in volumetric efficiency and deterioration in knocking can be prevented. <P>SOLUTION: The internal combustion engine 1 is equipped with a reformer 20 which reforms the mixture of exhaust gas and fuel by a reforming catalyst to generate the reformed gas Exr including hydrogen, a turbocharger 14 which is installed in an intake passage 3 for pressurizing air supplied to the internal combustion engine 1, an intercooler 12 which is installed in the intake passage 3 and cools air discharged from the turbocharger 14, and a gas circulation passage 10 provided on the intake passage 3 between the turbocharger 14 and the intercooler 12 for circulating the reformed gas Exr. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
