Fresh air collected outside the vehicle and then mixed with burnt gases is led to the engine cylinders via the intake ducts and by an intake manifold fixed against the intake face of the engine. Said gases are injected into the combustion chambers in the upper part of cylinders of the cylinder block and mixed with fuel to generate an explosion in said chamber generating burnt gases.

- the recirculation duct has a first end 57 opening from the face of the cylinder head and a second end 57 ′ emerging from the coupling face 59 substantially orthogonal to the exhaust face 52 of the cylinder head 50.
- the recirculation duct 56 and the adjacent end pipe emerge from the exhaust face 52 by the same end mouth 60 which has an oblong opening whose section is substantially double the sections of the first mouths 54.
- the manifold 20 gas is fixed by a contact face 52 'against the exhaust face 52 of the cylinder head and has inlet conduits 21,22 opening from said contact face by first and end inlet ports 54' , 60 ′, the gas passage passage sections of which are substantially equal respectively to the sections of the first mouths 54 and of the end mouth 60 as shown in Figures 1 to 3 , said figures make it possible to appreciate the sections of the first mouths and of the end mouth.
- the figures 2 and 4 in reverse represent cavities dug in the collector 20, the collector surrounding the volumes 13 of said cavities shown. Said manifold 20 is fixed against the exhaust face 52 of the cylinder head.
- the manifold 20 comprises first gas inlet pipes 21 which are connected to the first pipes 53 and a so-called mixed inlet pipe 22 connected to the lateral end pipe 55 with the recirculation pipe 56.

- the first inlet conduits 21 have a substantially constant gas passage section 23 and open into a transverse ramp 24 extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis X of the engine.
- the cross section of the gases in the transverse ramp 24 is constant over the entire length of said ramp. Said transverse ramp 24 is thus connected with each of the first inlet conduits 21 and has one end directed towards a plenum 25 and more precisely towards an access chamber 28 to a turbine 27 of a turbocharger.
- the mixed inlet duct 22 is hollowed out in the manifold along an axis directed towards the plenum 25 to direct burnt gases towards said plenum and particularly towards access chamber 28 to the turbocharger turbine.

- the cross section of the gases in the transverse ramp 24 is between 600 and 750 mm2 and the cross section of the mixed inlet duct decreases from 1,500 to 750 mm2 from the upstream end opposite the breech to the downstream end giving into the plenum 25.
- the collector comprises a deflector 26 extending from a wall of the collector opposite with the outlet 22 av of the mixed inlet conduit 22 in the plenum 25.
- the deflector 26 is formed by a boss from the wall of the collector opposite the mixed inlet conduit 22. The cross-section of the flue gases from the lateral end pipe 55 is therefore reduced by the deflector 26 in the mixed inlet duct 22 from the inlet mouth 60 'of the mixed inlet duct to the plenum 25.
- the burnt gases are expelled from the combustion chambers according to a combustion cycle, that is to say that the burnt gases do not fill all the exhaust pipes 51, 53, 55 at the same time.
- substantially constant value of the passage sections of the first inlet conduits 21 and of the transverse ramp 24 allows a lesser pressure drop in the flow of gases from the cylinder head until reaching the plenum 25 in the manifold 20.
- Said plenum 25 allows the junction between the ramp transverse 24 and the mixed inlet duct 22. The burnt gases coming from the transverse ramp can thus pass to the mixed inlet duct 22 along the deflector 26 then to the recirculation duct 56 when the valve opens EGR.
- the burnt gases from the lateral end pipe 55 are directed towards the plenum 25 and more particularly towards the access chamber 28 towards the turbine 27. At the outlet of the exhaust face, said gases are directed into the conduit d 'mixed inlet 22 whose passage section at this location is much larger than the passage section of the lateral end pipe 55, which increases the pressure losses.
- the deflector 26 promotes this flow of gases by appreciably reducing the passage section in the mixed inlet duct 22.

La présente invention concerne un moteur à combustion interne ou thermique d'un véhicule automobileThe present invention relates to an internal combustion or thermal engine of a motor vehicle
La présente invention concerne plus particulièrement un système de recirculation des gaz d'échappement d'un moteur thermique suralimenté.The present invention relates more particularly to a system for recirculating the exhaust gases of a supercharged combustion engine.
La présente invention concerne un système de recirculation des gaz brulés haute pression du moteur thermique suralimenté.The present invention relates to a recirculation system of high pressure burnt gases from the supercharged combustion engine.
La présente invention concerne les moteurs à combustion interne destinés notamment à équiper les véhicules automobiles, qui mettent en œuvre des moyens de recirculation de gaz d'échappement.The present invention relates to internal combustion engines intended in particular for equipping motor vehicles, which use means for recirculating exhaust gases.
La présente invention concerne plus particulièrement des moyens de recirculation de gaz d'échappement d'un moteur à combustion interne. Les normes concernant la pollution et la consommation des moteurs à combustion interne équipant les véhicules automobiles, deviennent chaque jour plus sévères dans l'ensemble des pays industrialisés. L'industrie automobile est donc aujourd'hui occupée à trouver des solutions techniques pour répondre à ces obligations et ce, sans trop pénaliser ni les performances des moteurs ni leur prix de revient. Une technique connue de dépollution des moteurs à combustion interne consiste à opérer la recirculation de gaz d'échappement à l'admission afin de diminuer les oxydes d'azote. Cette technique consiste à réinjecter suivant les conditions de fonctionnement du moteur une partie des gaz d'échappement dans les chambres de combustion du moteur, ce qui a pour effet de réduire en proportion la quantité de gaz comburant et donc d'abaisser la température de combustion, d'où une diminution de la production des NOx ou d'oxydes d'azote.The present invention relates more particularly to means for recirculating exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine. The standards concerning pollution and consumption of internal combustion engines fitted to motor vehicles are becoming more stringent every day in all industrialized countries. The automotive industry is therefore now busy finding technical solutions to meet these obligations, without penalizing either the performance of the engines or their cost price. A known technique for depolluting internal combustion engines consists in operating the recirculation of exhaust gases at the intake in order to reduce nitrogen oxides. This technique consists in reinjecting, depending on the operating conditions of the engine, part of the exhaust gases into the combustion chambers of the engine, which has the effect of proportionally reducing the amount of oxidizing gas and therefore of lowering the combustion temperature. , hence a reduction in the production of NOx or nitrogen oxides.
Le procédé généralement adopté est la "recirculation externe" des gaz d'échappement à l'aide d'une soupape pilotée RGE (Recyclage des Gaz d'Echappement), encore appelée vanne EGR, fermant ou ouvrant une canalisation reliant le collecteur d'échappement au répartiteur d'admission. La vanne EGR permet d'injecter à l'admission une quantité déterminée de gaz prélevés à l'échappement suivant les conditions de fonctionnement du moteur.The generally adopted process is the "external recirculation" of the exhaust gases using an RGE (Exhaust Gas Recycling) valve, also called EGR valve, closing or opening a pipe connecting the exhaust manifold. to the intake dispatcher. The EGR valve allows the injection of a determined quantity of gas taken from the exhaust according to the engine operating conditions.
De manière connue, comme cela est notamment décrit dans les demandes de
Pour simplifier la mise en place d'une telle recirculation des gaz d'échappement, il est également connu de faire un piquage des gaz brulés soit, directement sur la tubulure d'échappement comme cela divulgué dans la
La mise en place de la vanne EGR sur le collecteur d'admission ou sur le collecteur d'échappement, généralement fixés par une de leurs extrémités sur l'une des parois latérales de la culasse du moteur, a pour inconvénient d'alourdir et donc d'accroître le porte-à-faux de ces pièces, ce qui provoque une augmentation des vibrations dans ces dernières et donc la bruyance du moteur.The establishment of the EGR valve on the intake manifold or on the exhaust manifold, generally fixed by one of their ends on one of the side walls of the cylinder head of the engine, has the disadvantage of weighing down and therefore increase the overhang of these parts, which causes an increase in vibrations in the latter and therefore the engine noise.
La
Un inconvénient de ce système de recirculation est que le conduit de recirculation des gaz EGR ne communique qu'avec un seul conduit d'échappement et donc le volume des gaz recirculés est moindre ou il est nécessaire de creuser autant de conduits de recirculation dans la culasse que de conduits d'échappement dans la culasse. De plus, le conduit de recirculation EGR débouche dans un conduit d'échappement de manière non optimale pour capter les gaz d'échappement ce qui entraine une moindre efficacité du système de recirculation. D'autres systèmes de recirculation des gaz d'échappement sont connus des documents
Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un moteur à combustion interne comportant des moyens de recirculation de gaz d'échappement, en supprimant les inconvénients de l'art antérieur connu tout en favorisant la simplicité de son montage et la diminution de son encombrement , le tout de façon économique.The aim of the present invention is to provide an internal combustion engine comprising means for recirculating exhaust gas, eliminating the drawbacks of the known prior art while promoting the simplicity of its assembly and the reduction in its size, all in an economical way.
Le moteur à combustion interne selon l'invention comporte un système de recirculation de gaz haute pression c'est-à-dire que le système comporte un piquage des gaz brulés en amont de dispositifs de dépollution des gaz d'échappement tels qu'un pot catalytique. Ledit moteur comprend d'une part, une culasse dans laquelle sont agencées des canalisations d'admission et d'échappement issues de chambres de combustion et d'autre part, des moyens de recirculation des gaz d'échappement comprenant une vanne EGR, une première canalisation de liaison reliant le circuit d'échappement à la vanne EGR, et une seconde canalisation de liaison reliant la vanne EGR au circuit d'admission.The internal combustion engine according to the invention comprises a high-pressure gas recirculation system, that is to say that the system comprises a nozzle for the burnt gases upstream from exhaust gas pollution control devices such as a pot catalytic. Said engine comprises on the one hand, a cylinder head in which are arranged intake and exhaust pipes coming from combustion chambers and on the other hand, exhaust gas recirculation means comprising an EGR valve, a first connecting pipe connecting the exhaust circuit to the EGR valve, and a second connecting pipe connecting the EGR valve to the intake circuit.
La présente invention concerne plus particulièrement un système de recirculation des gaz d'échappement d'un moteur thermique comprenant une culasse dont laquelle sont creusés :
- des premières canalisations d'échappement,
- une canalisation d'échappement d'extrémité latérale, toutes les canalisations étant connectées avec des chambres à combustion,
- et un conduit de recirculation de gaz d'échappement adjacent à la canalisation d'extrémité,
caractérisé en ce que le conduit de recirculation et la canalisation d'extrémité adjacente débouchent de la face d'échappement par une même bouche dans un même conduit d'entrée mixte du collecteur d'échappement en amont du débouché dans le plénum d'admission.The present invention relates more particularly to a system for recirculating the exhaust gases of a heat engine comprising a cylinder head from which are hollowed out:
- the first exhaust pipes,
- a side end exhaust pipe, all the pipes being connected with combustion chambers,
- and an exhaust gas recirculation duct adjacent to the end pipe,
characterized in that the recirculation duct and the adjacent end pipe open from the exhaust face by the same mouth in the same mixed inlet duct of the exhaust manifold upstream of the outlet in the intake plenum.
De manière avantageuse, le moteur thermique comporte une culasse dans laquelle sont creusées des canalisations de gaz d'échappement qui sont sensiblement orthogonales à la face d'échappement de la culasse, chacune des canalisations débouche de ladite face d'échappement par une bouche. La culasse comprend des premières canalisations regroupées selon un côté de la culasse et une canalisation d'extrémité latérale ainsi qu'un conduit de recirculation des gaz brulés, chacune desdites premières canalisations est distincte et débouche de la face d'échappement de la culasse du moteur thermique par une bouche distincte qui donne dans un conduit d'entrée distinct dans le collecteur. On entend par le terme « distinct » le fait qu'une canalisation est séparée d'une autre canalisation adjacente par au moins une paroi. La canalisation d'extrémité latérale et le conduit de recirculation débouchent de la face d'échappement par une même bouche donnant dans un même conduit d'entrée mixte du collecteur. Ainsi les gaz brulés issus des différentes canalisations premières et d'extrémité sont susceptibles d'être captés et dirigés dans le conduit de recirculation dont l'encombrement est réduit car il est creusé dans la culasse.Advantageously, the heat engine comprises a cylinder head in which are exhausted gas pipes which are substantially orthogonal to the exhaust face of the cylinder head, each of the pipes opens from said exhaust face by a mouth. The cylinder head comprises first pipes grouped along one side of the cylinder head and a side end pipe as well as a flue gas recirculation duct, each of said first pipes is separate and opens out from the exhaust face of the engine cylinder head thermal through a separate mouth which gives into a separate inlet duct in the collector. The term "distinct" means the fact that a pipe is separated from another adjacent pipe by at least one wall. The lateral end pipe and the recirculation duct open out from the exhaust face by the same mouth giving into the same mixed inlet duct of the manifold. Thus the burnt gases from the various first and end pipes are capable of being captured and directed into the recirculation duct, the size of which is reduced since it is hollowed out in the cylinder head.
Selon un exemple:
- * le collecteur comporte un déflecteur apte :
- à diriger les gaz d'échappement dans le conduit d'entrée mixte depuis une bouche d'entrée vers le plénum,
- et à ramener des gaz d'échappement vers le conduit de recirculation.
- * the collector includes a deflector suitable for:
- directing the exhaust gases into the mixed inlet duct from an inlet mouth to the plenum,
- and to return exhaust gases to the recirculation duct.
De manière avantageuse, le collecteur d'échappement comporte un déflecteur qui permet d'une part un passage optimal des gaz brulés depuis la canalisation d'extrémité latérale dans le collecteur d'échappement et d'autre part de ramener des gaz d'échappement vers le conduit de recirculation, ce qui améliore l'efficacité et la perméabilité du conduit d'entrée mixte et du conduit de recirculation.Advantageously, the exhaust manifold comprises a deflector which allows on the one hand an optimal passage of the burnt gases from the lateral end pipe in the exhaust manifold and on the other hand to bring exhaust gases to the recirculation duct, which improves the efficiency and permeability of the mixed inlet duct and the recirculation duct.
Selon l'invention, le déflecteur est agencé en vis-à-vis du débouché du conduit d'entrée mixte dans le collecteur et favorise la conduite des gaz recirculés issus d'une part de la canalisation d'extrémité latérale dans le collecteur d'échappement et d'autre part des autres conduits d'entrée connectés avec les premières canalisations vers le conduit de recirculation.According to the invention, the deflector is arranged opposite the outlet of the mixed inlet conduit in the manifold and promotes the conduct of recirculated gases from one hand of the lateral end pipe in the manifold. exhaust and on the other hand other inlet pipes connected with the first pipes to the recirculation pipe.
Selon d'autres caractéristiques de l'invention, * le déflecteur prolonge une paroi en vis-à-vis du débouché du conduit d'entrée mixte.According to other characteristics of the invention, * the deflector extends a wall opposite the outlet of the mixed inlet conduit.
De manière avantageuse, le déflecteur prolonge une partie de la paroi du collecteur en vis-à-vis avec le débouché du conduit d'entrée mixte ; il peut par exemple être formé par un bossage depuis cette paroi ce qui est simple et économique.
- le conduit d'entrée mixte du collecteur présente une section de passage des gaz se réduisant depuis une partie amont connectée avec la bouche de débouché du conduit de recirculation et de la canalisation d'extrémité adjacente vers une partie aval connectée avec le plénum du collecteur.
- the mixed inlet manifold conduit has a reducing gas passage section from an upstream part connected with the outlet mouth of the recirculation conduit and the adjacent end pipe to a downstream part connected with the plenum of the manifold.
De manière avantageuse, le conduit d'entrée mixte présente une section de passage des gaz se réduisant depuis une partie amont en vis-à-vis avec la culasse vers une partie aval connectée avec le plénum, ladite réduction permet d'une part une meilleure conduite des gaz vers le plénum et d'autre part de mieux capter des gaz en direction du conduit de recirculation.
- les conduits d'entrée connectés aux premières canalisations sont raccordés à une rampe transversale de section de passage constante et égale à la section de passage desdits conduits d'entrée, débouchant dans le plenum.
- the inlet conduits connected to the first pipes are connected to a transverse ramp with a constant passage section equal to the passage section of said inlet conduits, opening into the plenum.
De manière avantageuse, le passage des gaz depuis la culasse jusqu'au plenum du collecteur est fait à section de passage constante analogue à une traversée d'un tube cylindrique pour minimiser les pertes de charge.
- le conduit de recirculation comporte une extrémité opposée débouchant d'une face latérale de la culasse.
- the recirculation duct has an opposite end opening out from a lateral face of the cylinder head.
De manière avantageuse, le conduit de recirculation comporte une première extrémité débouchant de la face d'échappement et une seconde extrémité d'une face latérale sensiblement orthogonale à la face d'échappement et contre laquelle une vanne EGR pourra être fixée, ce qui réduit l'encombrement du système de recirculation.
- le plenum comporte une chambre d'accès vers une turbine.
- the plenum has an access chamber to a turbine.
De manière avantageuse, le plénum du collecteur comporte une chambre d'accès vers une turbine notamment d'un turbocompresseur, ce qui permet de réduire l'encombrement général du moteur et d'améliorer l'efficacité des composants du moteur dont le turbocompresseur.

On entend dans ce document par les termes « section de passage » d'un conduit ou d'une ouverture une surface dudit conduit ou de la dite ouverture transversale à l'axe du conduit ou de l'ouverture.In this document, the term “passage section” of a duct or an opening is understood to mean a surface of said duct or of said opening transverse to the axis of the duct or of the opening.
Les moteurs thermiques ou à combustion interne de véhicule automobile comportent d'une part des systèmes en vue de réduire la pollution des gaz brulés issus de chambres à combustion du moteur et d'autre part des systèmes de suralimentation afin d'améliorer l'efficacité desdits moteurs.The internal combustion or internal combustion engines of a motor vehicle comprise, on the one hand, systems for reducing pollution of the burnt gases coming from combustion chambers of the engine and, on the other hand, boosting systems in order to improve the efficiency of said engines.
Dans le but de réduire la pollution, il est connu de renvoyer au moins une part des gaz brulés vers l'admission du moteur, ladite partie est alors mélangée avec de l'air frais avant son entrée dans les cylindres du moteur. On distingue deux types de recirculation de gaz brulés : d'une part une recirculation en basse pression qui comporte un prélèvement de gaz brulés en aval selon le sens d'écoulement des gaz de dispositifs de dépollution tels qu'un pot catalytique, d'autre part une recirculation en haute pression où les gaz brulés sont captés en amont des dispositifs de dépollution et de manière préférentielle en sortie d'une culasse du moteur. Les gaz brulés sont alors prélevés au niveau d'un collecteur d'échappement fixé contre une face d'échappement du moteur.In order to reduce pollution, it is known to return at least a portion of the burnt gases to the engine intake, said portion is then mixed with fresh air before entering the engine cylinders. There are two types of recirculation of burnt gases: on the one hand, recirculation at low pressure which includes a sampling of burnt gases downstream according to the direction of flow of the gases from pollution control devices such as a catalytic converter, share a high pressure recirculation where the burnt gases are captured upstream of the pollution control devices and preferably at the outlet of an engine cylinder head. The burnt gases are then taken from an exhaust manifold fixed against an exhaust face of the engine.
De manière générale, un moteur thermique comporte un carter-cylindres comprenant des cylindres dans lesquels un piston est mobile en coulissement selon l'axe du piston et une culasse recouvrant la partie supérieure du carter-cylindres et donc fermant des chambres à combustion délimitées par les parois des cylindres, les pistons et la culasse. Dans la culasse sont creusés des conduits d'admission et des canalisations d'échappement. De l'air frais capté à l'extérieur du véhicule et mélangé ensuite avec des gaz brulés est conduit vers les cylindres du moteur via les conduits d'admission et par un répartiteur d'admission fixé contre la face d'admission du moteur. Lesdits gaz sont injectés dans les chambres à combustion en partie haute de cylindres du carter cylindres et mélangés avec du carburant pour engendrer une explosion dans ladite chambre générant des gaz brulés. Les gaz brulés sont alors poussés en dehors des chambres à combustion via des canalisations d'échappement vers une face d'échappement du moteur du côté opposé à la face d'admission.In general, a heat engine comprises a cylinder block comprising cylinders in which a piston is movable in sliding along the axis of the piston and a cylinder head covering the upper part of the cylinder block and therefore closing the combustion chambers delimited by the cylinder walls, pistons and cylinder head. Into the cylinder head are hollowed out intake and exhaust pipes. Fresh air collected outside the vehicle and then mixed with burnt gases is led to the engine cylinders via the intake ducts and by an intake manifold fixed against the intake face of the engine. Said gases are injected into the combustion chambers in the upper part of cylinders of the cylinder block and mixed with fuel to generate an explosion in said chamber generating burnt gases. The burnt gases are then pushed outside the combustion chambers via exhaust pipes to an exhaust face of the engine on the side opposite to the intake face.
La présente invention concerne un système de recirculation 100 des gaz brulés haute pression prélevés au niveau du collecteur d'échappement 20 pour être renvoyés vers la face d'admission du côté opposé du moteur. L'écoulement desdits gaz recirculés est contrôlé par une vanne EGR pour « Exhaust Gaz Recirculation» en anglais.The present invention relates to a
Tel que présenté en
Les
Le collecteur 20 comprend des premiers conduits d'entrée des gaz 21 qui sont connectés aux premières canalisations 53 et un conduit d'entrée dit mixte 22 connecté à la canalisation d'extrémité 55 latérale avec le conduit de recirculation 56. Le conduit d'entrée 22 est dit mixte car il peut être le siège de flux de gaz dans deux sens opposé. Les sections d'entrée des premiers conduits d'entrée 21 sont au moins égales aux sections des ouvertures des premières bouches 54 et il en est de même pour la section du conduit d'entrée mixte 22 connecté avec la bouche d'extrémité 60 par laquelle débouchent la canalisation d'extrémité avec le conduit de recirculation.The manifold 20 comprises first
Tel que représenté en
Le conduit d'entrée mixte 22 est creusé dans le collecteur selon un axe dirigé vers le plenum 25 pour diriger des gaz brulés vers ledit plenum et particulièrement vers chambre d'accès 28 à la turbine de turbocompresseur. La section de passage 23' du conduit d'entrée mixte est réduite de manière préférentielle de manière continue pour présenter une section de passage en regard avec le plenum sensiblement égale à la section de passage de la rampe transversale 24.The
Selon un mode de réalisation, la section de passage des gaz dans le rampe transversale 24 est comprise entre 600 et 750 mm2 et la section de passage du conduit d'entrée mixte diminue de 1500 à 750 mm2 depuis l'extrémité amont en regard avec la culasse jusqu'à l'extrémité aval donnant dans le plénum 25.According to one embodiment, the cross section of the gases in the
Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le collecteur comporte un déflecteur 26 s'étendant depuis une paroi du collecteur en vis-à-vis avec le débouché 22av du conduit d'entrée mixte 22 dans le plénum 25. Selon la
Lors du fonctionnement du moteur, les gaz brulés sont expulsés des chambres de combustion selon un cycle de combustion c'est-à-dire que les gaz brulés ne remplissent pas toutes les canalisations d'échappement 51,53, 55 à la fois, la valeur sensiblement constante des sections de passage des premiers conduits d'entrée 21 et de la rampe transversale 24 permet une moindre perte de charge de l'écoulement des gaz depuis la culasse jusqu'à l'atteinte du plénum 25 dans le collecteur 20. Ledit plénum 25 permet la jonction entre la rampe transversale 24 et le conduit d'entrée mixte 22. Les gaz brulés issus de la rampe transversale peuvent ainsi passer vers le conduit d'entrée mixte 22 en longeant le déflecteur 26 puis vers le conduit de recirculation 56 lors de l'ouverture de la vanne EGR.During the operation of the engine, the burnt gases are expelled from the combustion chambers according to a combustion cycle, that is to say that the burnt gases do not fill all the
Les gaz brulés issus de la canalisation 55 d'extrémité latérale sont dirigés vers le plénum 25 et plus particulièrement vers la chambre d'accès 28 vers la turbine 27. Au débouché de la face d'échappement, lesdits gaz sont dirigés dans le conduit d'entrée mixte 22 dont la section de passage à cet endroit est beaucoup plus grande que la section de passage de la canalisation d'extrémité latérale 55, ce qui accroit les pertes de charge. Le déflecteur 26 favorise cet écoulement des gaz en réduisant sensiblement la section de passage dans le conduit d'entrée mixte 22.The burnt gases from the
Pour améliorer le passage des gaz de la canalisation d'extrémité 55 vers le conduit de recirculation 56, on peut prévoir de réduire la paroi de séparation entre ladite canalisation d'échappement 55 et le conduit de recirculation 56, par exemple en permettant une liaison entre lesdits deux conduits juste avant la bouche de sortie 60 de la face d'échappement ou en rabotant légèrement l'angle 61 de la paroi de séparation 62 entre la canalisation d'extrémité et le conduit de recirculation avant la face d'échappement de la culasse pour obtenir un arrondi.To improve the passage of gases from the
Selon les vitesses des gaz, lesdits gaz sont dirigés par les parois du collecteur 20 et du déflecteur 26 en vis-à-vis avec les débouchés des conduits d'entrée 21,22 pour arriver dans le conduit de recirculation. Les écoulements des gaz brulés sont ainsi représentés par des flèches en
