Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is used to reduce the levels of NOx emitted by the engine. By recirculating exhaust gases into the engine’s cylinder, a percentage of the air is replaced with CO2. This process lowers the combustion temperature due to the reduced amount of oxygen which, in turn, reduces the amount of NOx formed.
The exhaust gases can either be externally cooled and piped into the inlet manifold or managed internally through the camshaft.
If you’re using a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system you need diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) for the system to work.
