Abstract
The invention relates to a gas supply module (20) for an engine, comprising a heat exchanger (22) capable of cooling gases for the intake thereof in an intake space of a cylinder head of the engine, and a gas supply valve (24) capable of directing said gases toward the intake space of said cylinder head and/or through said heat exchanger (22), said module (20) further comprising an interface element (26) closing said intake space of said cylinder head. According to the invention, said interface element (26) and said valve (24) are shaped such that said valve (24) can be attached to said cylinder head via at least a first attachment means extending through at least the interface element (26). The invention also relates to an assembly of an engine cylinder head and such a module, and to a motor vehicle engine comprising such an assembly. The invention can particularly be used in the field of motor vehicles.
