Abstract
An engine system includes an engine having an intake manifold, a turbocharger having a compressor, and an exhaust gas recovery (EGR) mixer coupled between the compressor and the intake manifold. The EGR mixer includes a central air duct having a central axis, an annular ring circumscribing the central duct and having an inlet connectable to an EGR system and an outlet in fluid communication with the central air duct, and a vane assembly disposed in the central air duct upstream of the annular ring and having a plurality of vanes configured to swirl air passing therethrough.
