Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is a nitrogen oxide

emissions reduction technique used in petrol and

diesel engines. The EGR valve works by recirculating

a proportion of the engines exhaust gas back in to

the engine cylinders, this vastly increases efficiency

whilst the engine is cold and, results in a cleaner,

more complete burn of fuel.

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Cooler uses

the engines coolant to help reduce exhaust gas

temperatures prior to recirculating them through the

engines intake system. The EGR Cooler prevents

damage to expensive components downstream

in the exhaust system, like the turbocharger, and

prevents the build-up of pollutants due to excessive

temperatures.

The Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor (EGTS) is located in either the front of the

Diesel Catalyst and depending on vehicle manufacturer it can also be located

in front of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) this sensor detects exhaust gas

temperature and converts this into a voltage signal. This information is then

sent back to the engine ECU with the voltage signal in order to control engine

conditions to effectively reduce emission. Higher engine temperatures can

cause premature engine wear and in some cases engine failure.
