EGR control system for diesel engine

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6423142
In an EGR control system for a diesel engine, the EGR amount is controlled by controlling the pressure in a diaphragm chamber of an EGR valve using the output signal of a computer, responsive to signals from a plurality of engine running condition sensors, for calculating the EGR amount wich corrections according to the engine running conditions and the excess air rate. In some cases, the EGR is carried out only when the rotational speed of the engine is higher than a predetermined rotational speed. Also, some cases, the EGR is carried out when an occurence of idling is detected, even if the rotational speed of the engine is lower than the predetermined rotational speed.
