Abstract
The present invention pertains to a gas mixer for an internal combustion engine for mixing air with at least one admix gas, comprising a first duct segment having a first tube section and a first cone section, and a second duct segment having a second tube section and a second cone section. The first and second duct segments are stackable such that in a stacked state, a main gas conduit is formed by the first and second tube sections and an admix gas conduit is formed between the first cone section and the second duct segment. The present disclosure also pertains to a method for producing a gas mixer, comprising the steps of: for a predetermined mass flow of a gas to be admixed to air, calculating a flow cross section; machining at least one inner surface of an admix gas conduit such that at any position, the admix gas conduit comprises at least the calculated flow cross section; stacking two duct segments to provide the gas mixer. The present disclosure also pertains to a duct segment for being used in the gas mixer.
