Exhaust Pressure Governor (EPG)
The engine has been fitted with an exhaust pressure
governor (EPG) the function of which is to provide
cleaner exhaust gases while the engine is warming
up.When the parking brake is on and coolant temper-
ature is below 70
°
C, the governor shutter closes off the
exhaust gases so that the engine works against a certain
backpressure and this reduces hydrocarbon emissions
and white smoke. The EPG is controlled by pressurized
air via a solenoid valve and a reducer valve.
The EPG also functions as an exhaust brake when the
exhaust brake switch is activated.
Note. The same control pressure is used for the EPG
during warm-up as for exhaust braking, which is max.
750 kPa.
