Abstract
An arm portion is integrally formed with a housing. The arm portion protrudes from the housing in such a manner as not to be in contact with a passage-forming portion and a passage-side fastening portion. The arm portion has corner portions and a drive-side fastening portion. After a heat of EGR gas is transferred to the drive-side fastening portion, the heat is transferred to the housing through the corner portions. The arm portion elongates a heat transfer pass from the EGR gas to the driving portion to increase a resistance of heat transfer. Further, the arm portion increases a heat radiation surface area to increase a heat radiation quantity. The EGR apparatus can restrict a heat transfer from the EGR gas to the driving portion.
