ENGINE
An EGR cooler 5 is attached to an engine 1 via a bracket 6. The bracket 6 has an exhaust introduction path 65 for introducing some exhaust discharged from a cylinder head 11 to the EGR cooler 5, an exhaust recirculation path 66 for recirculating exhaust that has passed through the EGR cooler 5 toward the engine 1, a cooling water introduction path 67 for introducing cooling water from cooling water supply parts (3, 13-15) to the EGR cooler 5, and a cooling water recirculation path 68 for recirculating cooling water that has passed through the EGR cooler 5 to the cooling water supply parts.

Cleaning system for an engine exhaust cooler
A system and method operate by, while an engine is operating, automatically determining whether the engine is in a designated state for EGR cooler cleaning. The EGR cooler is operably coupled to the engine to receive hot EGR from an exhaust of the engine and to provide cooled EGR to an intake of the engine. The system and method also include, responsive to the engine not being in the designated state, automatically preventing a water pump system from introducing a cleaning liquid into a gas inlet of the EGR cooler.

Undermount for EGR cooler
An exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler for mounting to a coolant collector bracket may include a cooler body having a top, a bottom, a length extending in a longitudinal direction, and a width extending in a lateral direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and at least one mount coupled to the bottom of the cooler body. An interior of the mount may be in fluid communication with an interior of the cooler body. A width of the at least one mount in the lateral direction of the cooler body may be equal to or less than the width of the cooler body. The at least one mount may be positioned such that the mount does not extend beyond the width of the cooler body.

Integrated exhaust system apparatus
An integrated exhaust system apparatus to be mounted on an engine is provided. The apparatus includes an apparatus housing; an engine interface; an exhaust system interface with a first exhaust apparatus outlet configured to direct a first portion of exhaust through the housing wall; an EGR interface with a second exhaust apparatus outlet configured to direct a second portion of exhaust through the apparatus housing wall; and an exhaust manifold arranged within the apparatus interior. The exhaust manifold includes a first manifold outlet configured to direct the first portion of exhaust out of the manifold interior and a second manifold outlet configured to direct the second portion of exhaust out of the manifold interior. An EGR cooler is arranged within the apparatus interior with passages fluidly coupled such that the second portion of exhaust is directed out of the apparatus housing via the second exhaust apparatus outlet.
Engine coolant collector
A coolant collector bracket including a front side, a back side, and a top side is provided. The back side is opposite the front side and includes a plurality of coolant inlets for receiving coolant from a cylinder head. The top side includes an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler inlet and an EGR coolant outlet. The EGR coolant inlet and the EGR coolant outlet are substantially orthogonal to the plurality of coolant inlets.
Engine
An engine includes an exhaust manifold, an intake manifold, and an EGR device configured to supply EGR gas from the exhaust manifold to the intake manifold. An EGR cooler is provided at a side of the exhaust manifold, and a longitudinal direction of the EGR cooler is in an up-down direction of the engine in a used state.
