To provide a constant differential pressure valve which is compact in size and can be realized at low cost. In the constant differential pressure valve according to the present invention, a pipe forming a body thereof not only accommodates internal structures, such as a differential pressure control mechanism, a movable core, and a fixed core, but also serves as part of piping of a refrigeration cycle. Further, a solenoid section including a solenoid coil is disposed outside the pipe in a manner surrounding the same. Therefore, substantial integration of the differential pressure control mechanism into the piping of the refrigeration cycle can be achieved, which makes the entire constant differential pressure valve very simple in construction. As a result, reduction of the size of the constant differential pressure valve and resultant reduction of material costs and manufacturing costs can be achieved, which makes it possible to achieve low costs of the constant differential pressure valve.

An EGR apparatus includes an EGR passage and an EGR valve including a valve seat, valve element, and step motor. In a fully closed state of the EGR valve with the valve element seated on the valve seat, a front-side pressure of the valve element is detected by an air flow meter and a back-side pressure of the valve element is detected by an intake pressure sensor. An ECU calculates a differential pressure between the front-side pressure and the back-side pressure as a front-and-back differential pressure. When the front-and-back differential pressure is smaller than a predetermined reference value, the ECU allows opening of the EGR valve from the fully closed state and allows driving of the step motor. The ECU can also correct the reference value according value according to voltage of a battery that supplies electric power to the step motor.

There is provided a flow rate control valve of a constant flow-rate control type, which is simple in construction. The flow rate control valve is configured, by regarding a evaporator as a restriction passage, to include a constant differential pressure control valve for controlling the differential pressure before and after pressure loss caused by passage of refrigerant through the evaporator to be substantially constant. In the constant differential pressure control valve, a valve element receives pressure from the outlet of the flow rate control valve in a valve-closing direction, and a piston receives pressure from the outlet of the evaporator in a valve-opening direction. By controlling the differential pressure between pressure at the inlet of the evaporator and the pressure at the outlet of the evaporator such that it is substantially constant, the constant differential pressure control valve causes the refrigerant to flow into the evaporator at a constant flow rate dependent on electric current that energizes a solenoid. This makes it unnecessary to form a restriction passage in the flow rate control valve, and hence the construction of the flow rate control valve can be simplified, which makes it possible to provide a flow rate control valve manufactured at low cost.
