Where does the water in the engine EGR cooler come from?
1 Answers
It may be caused by water leakage inside the EGR cooler. Introduction to EGR Cooler: The EGR cooling system is a device designed to reduce NOx emissions from vehicle exhaust, which is part of the exhaust gas recirculation system. It reintroduces a small amount of exhaust gas into the intake valve when the vehicle is operating at higher speeds. Working Principle of EGR Cooler: The EGR valve controls the amount of exhaust gas flowing back from the exhaust manifold to the intake manifold through three metering holes with progressively increasing diameters, creating seven different flow combinations. Each metering hole consists of a solenoid valve and a needle valve. When the solenoid valve is energized, the armature is magnetically pulled upward, opening the metering hole. The rotary needle valve ensures good sealing when the EGR valve is closed.
