ABSTRACT:
A two stage mixing system mixes intake air with exhaust gases for exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) in an internal combustion engine. The two stage mixing system may have a two stage mixing device connected to an intake air conduit, a supply conduit, and an EGR conduit. The two stage mixing device may have a plenum disposed around a mixing conduit, which is connected to the intake air conduit and the supply conduit. The plenum is connected to one or more cross conduits and to the EGR conduit. The cross conduits extend across a mixing chamber formed by the mixing conduit. The cross conduits generate a higher velocity region in the intake air. The cross conduits direct the exhaust gases through one or more outlets into the higher velocity region. The cross conduits generate a vortex field in the exhaust gases and intake air. The exhaust gases mix with the intake air in the higher velocity region and in the vortex field.
