Exhaust gas recirculation apparatus for diesel engine

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6715756
A predetermined amount of exhaust gas recirculation is constantly provided through a first passageway connected between an engine intake manifold and an exhaust manifold. A vacuum actuated valve constitutes a second passageway which is connected in parallel with the first passageway. The valve is opened to allow exhaust gas recirculation through the second passageway except during idling and heavy load operation of an engine, thereby preventing excessive emission of smoke under these conditions.
