Diesel Oxidation Catalyst - Catalyst for diesel engines that reduces harmful exhaust gas emissions
produced by the engine.
Diesel Particulate Filter - A filter that captures particles of carbonaceous origin emitted by diesel
engines.
E
Electronic Control Unit; an electronic device in charge of electronically detecting and
controlling other electronic control devices.
Exhaust Gas Recirculation, in internal combustion engines; a system that enables
recirculation of combusted gas by means of taking it in once again, which enables it to
break down
a part of the pollutants present in the exhaust gas.
Recirculated exhaust gas cooling; a system that is able to cool recirculated gas (EGR) from
the exhaust. This enables the temperature to remain constant inside the intake manifold,
thus improving combustion inside the cylinders and breaking down pollutants further.
"Exhaust Gas Recirculation Temperature" - temperature sensor for EGR
"Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor"
Electronically-controlled device that adjusts the entrance of exhaust gas recirculated inside
the intake manifold.
An electronically activated component able to inject jets of atomised fuel inside the
cylinders.
Environmental Protection Agency. The United States' authority that safeguards the
environment; its duty is to govern and control polluting emissions.
Electronic Throttle Body - This is controlled by the ECU upon request of the accelerator
pedal, and its function is crucial for the correct regeneration of the ATS system.
F
Component, or group of main components, able to carry out specific functions on the
engine.
