Abstract
An exhaust gas pressure regulator for a combustion engine includes a regulator housing and an inner diffuser assembly arranged inside the regulator housing so that an exhaust gas flow duct is formed between an inner surface of the regulator housing and an outer surface of the inner diffuser assembly. The inner diffuser assembly includes a front portion and a regulating piston that is moveable relative to the front portion and the regulator housing between an idle position in which the exhaust gas flow duct is open, and a pressurized position in which the regulating piston at least partly closes the exhaust gas flow duct. The inner diffuser assembly includes at least one throttled flow passage between the gas flow duct and an exhaust gas pressure chamber defined by the regulating piston and an interior surface of the front portion.
