An exhaust heat recovery device includes a heat exchanger that performs heat exchange between exhaust gas flowing in from a first exhaust gas conduit and a fluid as a heated object. Regarding the heat exchanger, a flow passage for the exhaust gas inside the shell is configured so that the exhaust gas flowing in from the exhaust gas inflow passage reaches a branch after contacting a plate in a division area and the exhaust gas not branched to an exhaust gas recirculation flow passage at the branch flows out to a second exhaust gas conduit after contacting a plate in a division area.

An exhaust heat recovery device according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a heat exchanger, a supply flow path, and a discharge flow path. The heat exchanger has a plurality of heat exchange flow paths configured to carry out heat exchange between exhaust gas and a heat exchange medium. The supply flow path is configured such that the exhaust gas flows therethrough, and the flowing exhaust gas is supplied to the plurality of heat exchange flow paths while being branched. The discharge flow path is configured to merge and discharge the heat-exchanged exhaust gas having passed through the plurality of heat exchange flow paths. At least one flow path of the supply flow path and the discharge flow path is configured to be narrower toward a downstream side in a flow direction of the exhaust gas.

Methods and systems are provided for controlling the temperature and ratio of gases within a gas mixing tank reservoir and selectively charging/discharging gases from the reservoir to one or both of an intake system or an exhaust system. In one example, a method (or system) may include storing exhaust gas and/or compressed intake air into a gas mixing reservoir, and increasing or decreasing flow of coolant to the reservoir based on engine operating conditions. The stored gases may be discharged to an intake system and/or an exhaust system based on requests from a controller, and coolant flow to the reservoir may be adjusted based on the composition of the gases stored within the reservoir.
