Abstract
The present invention relates to a compressor-cooler module, having a housing, a compressor contained in the housing, and an air cooler disposed within the housing and positioned in the flow path of the compressor. The present invention also includes an intake in fluid communication with the housing, a cooler bypass valve operably associated with the air cooler and the compressor, and a low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation passage operably associated with the cooler bypass valve, and the cooler bypass valve selectively directs exhaust gas to bypass the air cooler.
