What is EGR differential pressure?
The EGR differential pressure sensor measures the exhaust gas pressure drop across the EGR differential pressure orifice. This pressure drop is used to calculate the amount of EGR flow into the intake manifold. ISX (CM870) engines: The sensor is located near the fuel inlet to the integrated fuel system module (IFSM).
What is EGR mass flow?
This EGR mass flow rate model is based on the flow of a compressible ideal gas with unchanged specific heat ratio through a restriction cross-area within a duct. A practical identification procedure of the model parameters is proposed based on the analysis of the engine data and model structure.
What does EGR position sensor do?
The EGR Position sensor detects the movement and position of the EGR valve pintle. The EGR Pressure sensor detects exhaust gas flow through the EGR passage. Sensors pass meticulous quality control to assure accurate voltage output.
What should the differential pressure be on a DPF?
It should be around 12.6 volts. Consult the manufacturer’s service manual to identify the signal, ground, and 5-volt reference and back-probe the wires.
Should EGR valve be open or closed?
The EGR valve has two primary settings: open and closed, although the position can vary anywhere in between. The EGR valve is closed when the engine is starting up. However as more torque and power is required, for example during full acceleration, the EGR valve closes to ensure as much oxygen enters the cylinder.
How is EGR controlled?
Within modern internal combustion engines, Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) is a method to control Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emissions, produced as a by-product during the combustion process. It connects the exhaust manifold to the intake manifold and is controlled by either a vacuum or a built-in electric step motor.
How are mass flow rate and EGR calculated?
Most of model is based on fundamental laws of physics and hence generic. The overall model has five inputs i.e. engine speed, fuel supply rate, intake manifold temperature, percentage VGT opening and EGR valve opening. The output of model is EGR mass flow rate and EGR ratio.
How is exhaust gas circulated in an EGR system?
Most EGR systems have a by-pass valve integrated with the EGR cooler. When the engine is cold, the exhaust gas is circulated directly into the engine.
What’s the difference between high and low pressure EGR?
High pressure EGR, compared with a low pressure EGR system, is referred to as the “classic” EGR architecture. This architecture is the most widespread and has been used on diesel engines starting with Euro 2 pollutant emission limits.
Why does O2 sensor drift rich during EGR flow?
Pre-OBD2 GM vehicles will watch O2 sensor activity while the ECM is commanding EGR flow, because O2 sensor readings will drift slightly rich when EGR is flowing due to the displacement of oxygen by the inert exhaust gas entering the intake.
