Abstract

An internal combustion engine may include a housing and at least one cavity arranged therein for receiving a coolant flow. An exhaust gas cooler may be provided for cooling an exhaust gas flow. The exhaust gas cooler may be configured as a stacked disc cooler including at least two stacking discs, an exhaust gas inlet, a cover plate and a screw-mounting plate for screw-mounting to the housing. The exhaust gas cooler may protrude into the cavity of the housing when the screw-mounting plate is mounted to the housing. The screw-mounting plate may have a spacer element disposed at the exhaust gas inlet. The spacer element may protrude in a direction of the at least two stacking discs and enlarge a distance between the screw-mounting plate and an adjacent stacking disc of the at least two stacking discs to position the exhaust gas cooler further into the cavity.
