ABSTRACT:
An exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler includes a plurality of tubes and a shell enclosing the tubes. During use, cooling water is supplied to and discharged from the shell, and exhaust gas is guided from a diesel engine into the tubes to be heat exchanged with the cooling water. An inner periphery of each of the tubes is formed with three streaks of spiral protrusions running without crossing and with phases peripherally shifted to each other. A pitch P ratio of each of the spiral protrusions to an inner diameter of each of the tubes is 2.0-4.0, and a ridge height H ratio of each of the spiral protrusions to the inner diameter of each of the tubes is 0.1-0.2.
