Abstract
An exhaust gas recirculation system is provided that includes an internal combustion engine, which is supplied with exhaust gas, diverted at a removal point and returned via a return point and/or charge air, having a heat exchanger arranged between the removal point and the return point, for the returned exhaust gas and/or the charge air, and having an exhaust gas recirculation valve, by means of which the amount of returned exhaust gas and/or charge air can be regulated. To provide an exhaust gas recirculation system, which has a simple structure and can be manufactured cost-effectively, the exhaust gas recirculation valve is connectable between the removal point and the heat exchanger.
