Abstract
A heat exchanger assembly, in particular an exhaust gas cooler, having a gas inlet pipe attached to an inlet diffuser to improve flow distribution of the gas in a case with a heat exchanger core within. The gas inlet pipe configured to disrupt the momentum of flow of the gas due to at least one bend upstream of the inlet diffuser. The gas inlet pipe including at least two intermediate bends which define multiple section of the gas inlet pipe, at least two of the sections redirecting flow of the gas before an outlet of the gas inlet pipe to more evenly distribute the gas at the outlet of the gas inlet pipe upstream of the inlet diffuser.
