Abstract:
Various methods and systems are provided for an exhaust gas cooler. In one example, a method includes controlling a flow of coolant to at least a first stage of a plurality of stages of an exhaust gas cooler relative to a second stage of the plurality of stages to maintain at least one of: a controlled amount of heat removal from the first stage relative to the second stage, an about equal coolant temperature increase across the first stage relative to the second stage; an about equal gas temperature decrease across the first stage relative to the second stage; and an about equal gas heat removal across the first stage relative to the second stage.

Claim (Index 11):
A system for an exhaust gas cooler, comprising:\n an exhaust gas inlet and exhaust gas outlet; a plurality of serially arranged stages positioned between the exhaust gas inlet and exhaust gas outlet, each stage of the plurality of serially arranged stages including a plurality of cooling tubes coupled between a coolant inlet and coolant outlet; and a controller with computer readable instructions stored in memory for:\n adjusting a flow of coolant to the coolant inlet of each stage of the plurality of serially arranged stages in order to maintain at least one of an about equal coolant temperature increase across each stage, an about equal gas temperature decrease across each stage, and/or an about equal gas heat removal across each stage.
