Exhaust gas recirculation control system

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6605729
An exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) control valve is described. The valve is provided with an extension which is inserted into a restriction, formed in the EGR passageway upstream of the EGR control valve, to reduce the effective cross sectional area of the restriction and therefore the EGR ratio when the pressure in the EGR passageway between the restriction and the EGR control valve is reduced below a predetermined value due to increases in an engine suction vacuum during low load engine operating conditions.
