Patent ID: 7716929

Claim:
An arrangement for recirculation of exhaust gases in a supercharged combustion engine, the arrangement comprising: an exhaust line configured to lead the exhaust gases out from the combustion engine; an inlet line configured to lead air at above atmospheric pressure to the combustion engine; and a return line comprising: a connection to the exhaust line and a connection to the inlet line positioned and configured so that the return line is configured to recirculate the exhaust gases from the exhaust line to the inlet line; a second cooler provided to cool the exhaust gases in the return line by use of a liquid medium in the second cooler; a first cooler using ambient air as a cooling medium and configured to cool the exhaust gases and incorporated in the return line downstream from the second cooler and upstream from a mixture point where the exhaust gases are mixed with the air in the inlet line; and a third cooler configured to cool the air in the inlet line before the air is mixed with the exhaust gases from the return line, wherein the first cooler is positioned in close physical proximity to the third cooler such that the first cooler and the third cooler together comprise a flat integrated cooler package having a main extent in one plane, the first cooler positioned relative to the third cooler such that both have the main extent in the one plane, wherein the first cooler has a shortest side and the third cooler has a shortest side, the shortest side of the first cooler facing the shortest side of the third cooler over at least a majority of the shortest side of the first cooler.
