<strong>The</strong> principal function of the exhaust gas recirculation system<br />
(EGR) is to reduce the amount of harmful nitrogen oxides<br />
(NOx) that are produced during the combustion process. NOx<br />
is created when high combustion temperatures enable the<br />
nitrogen and oxygen present in the air-fuel mixture to combine.<br />
EGR valves operate by taking some of the exhaust gases from the<br />
exhaust manifold and then reintroducing these gases into the<br />
intake manifold, mixing them with fresh air.<br />
Originally developed at the beginning of the 1970s, EGR valves<br />
first started to be used in Europe in the 1990s in order to meet<br />
the ‘Euro 1’ emission standards. Today, 100 percent of diesel cars<br />
are equipped with EGR valves and 30% of petrol cars. Many new<br />
models will be even equipped with two EGR types (low pressure<br />
and high pressure), which means that the replacement part<br />
market for these types of valves is likely to grow, corresponding<br />
to the level of demand.<br />
