Your vehicle is run by an internal combustion engine that utilises valves that can sometimes have an EGR issue in Raby. The exhaust gas recirculation is a nitrogen oxide emissions reduction technique used n petrol and diesel engines. The EGR valves work by re-circulating a portion of the engines exhaust gas back to the engine cylinders. This dilutes the oxide in the incoming airstream and provides gases inert to combustion to act as absorbents of combustion heat to reduce peak in cylinder temperatures. There have been some issues with certain makes of vehicles which have caused a recall to have the units replaced. One of the primary benefits of external EGR valves on a spark ignition engine is an increase in efficiency as charge dilution allows a larger throttle position and reduces associated pumping losses.
If you have one of the vehicles that have been recalled then bring it to us. In Raby, EGR issue can be solved by our highly trained technicians. A properly operating EGR can theoretically increase the efficiency of petrol engines in a number of ways. They can reduce throttling losses by the addition of inert exhaust gas into the intake system. Reduced heat rejection means there is a loss of thermal energy to the combustion chamber surfaces leaving more available for conversion to mechanical work during the expansion stroke. The lower peak temperatures result in more of the released energy remaining as sensible energy although this is a minor effect compared to the first two mechanisms.
