EGR Valve: Description and Operation

EGR Valve

PURPOSE

Allows a metered amount of exhaust to recycle in to the intake stream.

OPERATION

This valve is controlled by a flexible diaphragm which is spring loaded to hold the valve closed.  Vacuum applied to the top side of the diaphragm
overcomes spring pressure and opens the valve in the exhaust port, allowing exhaust gas into the intake manifold and thus to the cylinders.
