	Exhaust gas recirculation
		Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) was an early and primitive automobile emissions-control device that was used from the late 1960s through the early 1980s.
		The EGR equipment is sometimes casually referred to as a pollution pump or smog pump, although these terms may also refer to an air injection reactor (AIR) system, another early pollution control method.
		{Exhaust steam} (Steam Engine), steam which is allowed to escape from the cylinder after having been employed to produce motion of the piston.

	Exhaust gas recirculation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Recirculation is usually achieved by piping a route from the exhaust manifold to the inlet manifold, which is called external EGR.
		In modern diesel engines, the EGR gas is cooled through a heat exchanger to allow the introduction of a greater mass of recirculated gas.
		Intermixing the incoming air with recirculated exhaust gas dilutes the mix with inert gas which slows the combustion, and lowers the peak temperatures.

		Exhaust headers manufacturers use separate tubes for each exhaust port on the engine and attempt to create a smoother flow of gasses out of an engine by "tuning" the lengths of each pipe to the engine's exhaust pulses.
		Generally the exhaust manifold must be specially prepared which usually includes sandblasting, degreasing, then the paint must be cured according to special process which may involve slow baking in an oven (that's not a joke).
		During the exhaust stroke, the exhaust valve is opened and the piston travels upward pushing the gasses out of the cylinder.

	Understanding exhaust gas recirculation systems
		Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems were introduced in the early '70s to reduce an exhaust emission that was not being cleaned by the other smog controls.
		Vacuum flows to the EGR in rapid on-off pulses as the solenoid is commanded by the PCM.
		The EGR is considered malfunctioning when an EGR component fails or a fault in the flow rate results in the vehicle exceeding the Federal Test Procedure (FTP) by 1.5 times.

		The lifts of the exhaust valve actuated by valve float, compression release retarder, exhaust gas recirculation are shown in the accompanying figures.
		Third, the amount of exhaust gases that are recirculated can be controlled by modifying the timing, and the magnitude, of the opening of the exhaust valve that is being actuated to accomplish exhaust gas recirculation to obtain optimal mixing of gas and recirculated gas.
		The exhaust valve trigger allows the system to advance the timing of the exhaust gas recirculation event to a point in the cycle earlier than would be feasible using an intake valve train.

		The exhaust gas recirculation should mainly decrease the combustion temperature to reduce the harmful nitrogen dioxide in the exhaust gases.
		Internal exhaust gas recirculation is possible with an increased valve overlap, while adjusting the camshaft or the electric/hydraulic valve control.
		During full load the exhaust gas recirculation must be ceased to ensure the surplus of oxygen, because the engine would soot.

	Exhaust gas recirculation -- Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) Is an efficient...
		Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) Is an efficient NOX (Nitrogen oxide and Nitrogen Dioxide) reduction technique used in most Gasoline and Diesel engines.
		EGR is usually achieved by a piping route from the exhaust manifold to the inlet manifold.
		In a modern diesel engine it is likely that the EGR gas is also cooled through a heat exchanger to further cool the gas, and thus the combustion, and to allow the introduction of a greater mass of recirculated gas.

		Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is the controlled diversion of some of the combustion gases back into the combustion chamber.
		There are two methods of exhaust gas recirculation: internally through overlap of valve opening times and externally with recirculating valves and manifolds.
		This is a very effective process, because oxides of nitrogen tend to rise disproportionately with increased combustion temperatures.

	ETEC Proprietary Induced Flue Gas Recirculation Systems For NOx Control
		In the past these installations have relied on dedicated FGR fans to provide the required exhaust gas recirculation.
		WFGR systems require installation of a separate hot gas FGR fan to move flue gas from the boiler exit to the air supply ducting at the windbox inlet, where mixing of the air and flue gas must be uniformly achieved by installation of appropriate mixing devices.
		Recirculating flue gas back to the combustion zone has been one of the most effective methods of reducing NOx emissions from gas and oil fired boilers since the early 1970's.

		This type of egr has been around since the early 80's (lots of american cars use this type of egr), but a cam profile that allows this is not conducive to making power.
		what the egr does is introduce a small amount of exhaust into the incoming air charge to dilute the oxygen content in the air charge.

	news: Caterpillar introducing exhaust gas recirculation in 2007 engines
		Caterpillar named the technology the Clean Gas Induction (CGI), thus, avoiding the usage of the term “EGR” in the context of ACERT engines, which have been competing against EGR-based technologies (incidentally, the acronym CGI also stands for the Compacted Graphite Iron engine block technology, which may or may not be used in 2007 Caterpillar engines).
		The Caterpillar 2007 DPF system uses a wall-flow filter, which is regenerated by periodically heating the exhaust gas using “auxiliary means”, said Caterpillar.
		EGR systems in engines without DPFs typically employ high pressure loop EGR configuration, where the EGR flow taken from upstream of the turbine carries particulate emissions, which presents a potential engine wear issue.

	EFI: Exhaust gas recirculation
		The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system is used to reduce the amount of NOx created by the engine.
		It does this by diluting the air/fuel mixture with a small amount of inert gas (usually less than 10% of the total mixture); exhaust gas is used since it contains only a small amount of oxygen (and is readily available).
		This is close to the most complicated EGR you'll run across; it has a computer controlled vacuum solenoid and a position sensor.

		Parameters to evaluate mixture formation and combustion processes for exhaust gas recirculation and fuel-water emulsion could be derived from thermodynamic analysis, optical combustion investigations and measurements of exhaust pollutants.
		Nitrogen oxides reduction is caused by the drop of flame temperature due to the increased inert gas fraction in the combustion zone in both methods.
