Abstract
The internal combustion engine includes a compressor for supercharging intake air, an EGR device for introducing EGR gas into an intake passage at a position on an upstream side relative to the compressor, and a collecting pocket that is provided at an outer circumference of a compressor inlet and that collects condensed water generated inside the intake passage on an upstream side relative to the compressor. The collecting pocket opens towards the upstream side of the compressor, and is formed in a circular ring shape that surrounds the outer circumference of the compressor inlet. The collecting pocket includes a partition wall that holds back a flow of condensed water that attempts to move in a downward gravitational direction inside an internal space of the collecting pocket.
