Experimental Investigation Regarding the Use of EGR System in Internal Combustion Engine
摘要
The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system is a key component that redirects exhaust gases into the intake manifold to mix with fresh air, reducing combustion temperature and lowering nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. This paper reviews EGR systems and valves, focusing on electronically controlled actuators responsive to engine speed, temperature, and exhaust flow. An experimental test bench was developed to evaluate performance and signals from the pintle position sensor (PPS) to the engine control unit (ECU). Results demonstrate fast response times (<1 s), precise control, and reduced soot deposits in electronic EGR, with near-linear PPS voltage-pintle correlations. Novelty lies in the hardware-based analysis of PPS behaviour under PWM control, enabling closed-loop optimisation. This aligns with cognitive mobility (CogMob) by integrating EGR into adaptive AI-driven vehicle systems for real-time emission reduction in intelligent transportation.
