3.3.1 Exhaust gas recirculation (E.G.R.) system
This system makes it possible, under certain operating conditions, to convey a portion (5
÷
15%) of the exhaust gas to the intake.
Thus, the temperature peak is lowered in the combustion chamber, thus reducing the
formation of nitric oxides (NOx).
The function of the E.G.R. solenoid valve (1), controlled by the injection control unit (2), is to
let a portion of the exhaust gas drawn by exhaust manifold (4) again into the engine intake.
A heat exchanger (3) makes it possible to partially cool the exhaust gas, by further lowering
the combustion chamber temperature.
