EGR Tube: Description and Operation
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) ORIFICE TUBE ASSEMBLY
EGR Orifice Tube Assembly
The orifice tube assembly is a section of tubing connecting the exhaust system to the intake manifold. The assembly provides the flow path for the EGR
to the intake manifold and also contains the metering orifice and 2 pressure pick-up tubes. The internal metering orifice creates a measurable pressure
drop across it as the EGR valve opens and closes. This pressure differential across the orifice is picked up by the differential pressure feedback EGR
(DPFE) sensor which provides feedback to the powertrain control module (PCM).
