Abstract
To reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions in an internal combustion engine a comparatively large quantity of exhaust gas is recirculated and a specific swirling flow is imposed on the exhaust gas as it is introduced into the combustion chamber. For this purpose the exhaust duct has a chamfer formed on only one side in the region of a flow cross-section. The swirling flow of exhaust gas rotating about an axis parallel to the cylinder axis, together with the supply of fresh gas, assures an increased fresh-gas concentration in the region of the spark plug.
