Abstract
An EGR valve is provided with a curved connecting surface to allow condensate to flow from an outlet to an exhaust gas inlet of the EGR valve during the use of low-pressure EGR. The curved connecting surface mitigates condensation and/or ice from entering the intake line and impinging on the compressor wheel.
