How is exhaust gas circulated in an EGR system?
How is exhaust gas circulated in an EGR system?
Most EGR systems have a by-pass valve integrated with the EGR cooler. When the engine is cold, the exhaust gas is circulated directly into the engine.
How does the EGR valve position sensor work?
The position sensor of the valve is linear and provides a signal proportional to its supply voltage (usually 5V). The EGR valve position sensor signal is set to increases in the direction of the opening of the valve. The position sensor is used for three main reasons:
How does the EGR system reduce NOx production?
NOx is formed in high concentrations whenever combustion temperatures nearing adiabatic flame temperature. The EGR system reduces NOx production by circulating small amounts of exhaust gases into the intake manifold where it mixes with the incoming air/fuel charge.
What are the advantages of a pneumatic EGR valve?
Compared with an electrical actuated EGR valve, the main advantage of the pneumatic valve is the low cost, lack of mechanical transmission and simplicity.

How to make an ALH with EGR delete?
Here are vacuum diagrams for a stock ALH, ALH with EGR delete, and ALH with EGR and ASV delete. Images are thumbnails. Click for full-size. Of course it goes without saying that although these are the “shortest” paths, these are not the only options.
What are the disadvantages of pneumatic EGR valves?
The disadvantages of the pneumatic EGR valves are: the closing is ensured only by a return spring (in the event of soot deposits on the valve, it is not possible to remove the deposit by fast valve closing/smashing, which can result in a permanent open position)
Where is the EGR valve on the intake manifold?
In a high pressure EGR system, the exhaust gas is taken before the turbine and reintroduced into the intake manifold after the compressor, thus in the high pressure zone of both exhaust and intake manifolds. The EGR valve is placed on the exhaust manifold side for several reasons:
Can a faulty EGR valve cause an engine to fail?
A faulty EGR valve causing this issue doesn’t allow in the right amount of exhaust to dilute the air-fuel mixture and lower combustion chamber temperatures. If this continues to happen, it can lead to other engine component failures. The EGR valve will need to be replaced or cleaned of built-up carbon deposits.
Can a clogged fuel filter cause an engine to stall?
Stalling: If a clogged fuel filter goes unaddressed for too long, it may eventually cause the engine to stall as ideal fuel flow dwindles. Extra stress and heavy loads placed on the engine may instigate the stalling or, if you wait to focus on earlier warning signs, the engine could stall shortly after starting the car.
Where does exhaust gas recirculation ( EGR ) take place?
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has developed a Dedicated EGR (D-EGR) which is an EGR system that uses in-cylinder fuel reformation to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions. The entire exhaust of a sub-group of power cylinders (dedicated cylinders) is routed directly into the intake.
In a high pressure EGR system, the exhaust gas is taken before the turbine and reintroduced into the intake manifold after the compressor, thus in the high pressure zone of both exhaust and intake manifolds. The EGR valve is placed on the exhaust manifold side for several reasons:
What can I use to clean an EGR valve?
This is a home experiment and an unbiased use of JLM Diesel Air Intake & EGR Cleaner. Similar products are available. This product is designed to dissolve carbon deposits, gum and varnish build up. It should restore air flow to the engine thus improving power and acceleration while reducing exhaust smoke.
How does improvement in EGR reduce fuel consumption?
The improvement in EGR tolerance and combustion leads to a reduction in fuel consumption of up 10% at light loads.
