Intensified EGR cooling

3

Required increase of boost pressure to implement 10% EGR at a constant speed [Arnold, 2004].

4

• Positive pressure differential between turbine outlet and compressor inlet

• DPF

•Two stages of cooling : less EGR needed

• Condensation : liquid water and lubricating oil, and acid solution in the intake area

• Big intake volume : homogeneous mixture but high response time

The Low Pressure EGR circuit :

5

• Negative pressure differential between turbine outlet and compressor outlet • Fouling of the EGR cooler • Coordination of EGR valve/VGT vanes

The High Pressure EGR circuit :
