(9) EGR control
A. Overview
The EGR (Electric-Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve reduces the NOx emission level by recirculating
some of the exhaust gas to the intake system.
To meet Euro-V regulation, the capacity and response rate of E-EGR valve in D20DTR engine have
been greatly improved. The EGR cooler with high capacity reduces the Nox, and the bypass valve
reduces the CO and HC due to EGR gas before warming up.
Also, the engine ECU adjusts the E-EGR opening by using the air mass signal through HFM sensor. If
the exhaust gas gets into the intake manifold when the EGR valve is open, the amount of fresh air
through HFM sensor should be decresed.

D. Bypass control for EGR cooler
Cooler temperature
▶
When the coolant temperature is below 70℃, the exhaust gas is bypassed the EGR cooler.
Exhaust gas temperature
▶
When the exhaust gas temperature is below 300℃, the exhaust gas is bypassed the EGR cooler.
Otherwise, PM could be increased due to too low exhaust gas temperature.
E. Control elements for EGR system
Accelerator pedal (engine load) - Indicates the driver's intention and engine load. If the load goes up,
the EGR ratio is decreased.
T-MAP (boost pressure map stored in ECU) - Compensates the difference in boost pressure by
adjusting EGR ratio.
Engine rpm - Used as the signal for determining EGR operating range.
Coolant temperature - When the coolant temperature is low, NOx is decreased but PM could be
increased. So, to reduce PM, decrease EGR ratio when the coolant temperature is low.
Intake air mass and temperature - HFM sensor measures the intake air mass to calculate the actual
EGR volume. If the air mass is larger than programmed value in map, EGR ratio will be higher.
EGR position sensor - Detects the actual opening angle of EGR valve and performs feedback
function according to PWM control by ECU.
Wide band oxygen sensor - Detects the oxygen volume in exhaust gas to check if the EGR ratio is
proper.
Electronic throttle body - Keeps EGR ratio to optimized level by controlling the throttle body in EGR
operating range (decreasing pressure in intake manifold).

F. Features
As EGR ratio goes up, smoke volume will be
higher. But, this lowers the combustion
chamber temperature and accordingly the
concentration of NOx is decreased. The point
with highest NOx is immediately after TDC.
As EGR temperature goes up, the
concentration of NOx will be higher. Thus, it is
necessary to cool down the exhaust gas.
However, during engine cooled, it may cause
large amount of PM. To prevent this, the
exhaust gas is bypassed the EGR cooler.
