Abstract
An exhaust gas cooler includes tubes to convey an exhaust gas through the cooler, a header plate to receive ends of the tubes, and a diffuser. The diffuser and the header plate together define an inlet plenum for the exhaust gas. The diffuser includes a connection flange to join the diffuser to the header plate, and the connection flange is substantially shielded from the flow of exhaust gas passing through the inlet plenum.
