-
FIG. 1 is a schematic of a system including an internal combustion engine. -
FIG. 2 is a schematic of a cooled EGR system. -
FIG. 3 is a schematic of a cooled EGR system. -
FIG. 4 is a schematic of a cooled EGR system. -
FIG. 5 is a schematic of a vehicle including an engine and a cooled EGR system. - For purposes of promoting an understanding of the principles of the invention, reference will now be made to the embodiments illustrated in the figures and specific language will be used to describe the same.

The rate of exhaust gas recirculation or EGR may be controlled byEGR valve 36 which is illustrated as being upstream ofEGR cooler 40, but could also be positioned downstream fromEGR cooler 40, orintermediate EGR cooler 40 andcatalyst unit 90.

Substantially non-oxidizing catalysts are catalysts which are operable to catalyze one or more chemical reactions which decrease the molecular weight of hydrocarbon compounds present in exhaust gas without increasing the temperature of the exhaust gas or with a reduced temperature increase relative to that which would occur with an oxidizing catalyst. Examples of substantially non-oxidizing catalysts include solid acid catalysts and zeolite catalysts.

Exhaust then flows to EGRcooler 240 which cools the exhaust. From EGRcooler 240, exhaust may optionally flow through one or more additional coolers, and may be mixed with intake or charge air before being provided to an intake manifold or directly to one or more engine cylinders. - With reference to
