Description
To reduce the Nitrous Oxide (NOx) content
in
the exhaust. the
peak combustion temperatures Bre lowered
by
recirculating a
controlled quantity of the exhaust gases through the
combustion process.
The
E,G.A.
valve is mounted on the exhaust manlfold. A
control signal, taken from a
thrallie
edge tapping, gives no
recirculation at idle or full load, but does
allow
an
amount
of
reCIrculation. dependent on the vacuum signal and a
metermg profile
on
the valve under part-load condilions.
Exhaust gas flows from the valve
to
the Inlet
plenum
chamber
via a lagged pipe
