Abstract:
In an engine, an intake duct is provided with an intercooler disposed downstream of an intake air compressor. An EGR pipe is provided with an EGR valve and an EGR cooler. An ECU determines a generation of a condensed water in the EGR cooler, the generation of the condensed water in a merging portion where a fresh air and an EGR gas merge with each other, and the generation of the condensed water in the intercooler. When it is determined that the condensed water is generated in any of these portions, the ECU performs a corresponding countermeasure for restricting the generation of the condensed water.

Claim (Index 3):
The EGR system for an internal combustion engine according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a redetermination portion determining again whether the condensed water is generated in the intercooler under a condition where the condensed-water-restricting portion performs the countermeasure against the condensed water in the intercooler; and a countermeasure portion configured to perform an EGR reducing processing of reducing the EGR gas passing through the EGR valve in amount, when the redetermination portion determines that the condensed water is generated.
