Problems solved by technology

[0007] In gasoline type engines, on the other hand, obtaining the EGR level is a more complicated matter, since this type of engine is not always fitted with an air flow meter

Embodiment Construction

[0038] refer to figure 1 , a motor vehicle internal combustion engine M comprising a combustion chamber 1 with a plurality of cylinders, in this case four cylinders, intended to receive a mixture of oxidizing agent and fuel (in this case gasoline), which Combustion in the cylinders produces work for the engine M. The operation of the engine M is conventional: gases enter the combustion chamber 1 where they are compressed, burned and then exit as exhaust gases; these are the conventional four strokes of an internal combustion engine (intake, compression, power, exhaust) .

[0039]The intake line 2a admitting gas to the engine M comprises an air intake duct 3 allowing charge air or fresh air (the flow of which is indicated by arrow F1 ), a compressor 4 for the charge gas (which in this case is turbo compressor) and heat exchanger 5 for cooling the gas leaving compressor 4. This heat exchanger 5 is generally known to those skilled in the art by its acronym "CAC", which stands ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for controlling an exhaust gas recirculation line (2c) of an internal combustion engine (M) of a motor vehicle. The engine (M) is connected to the air intake line (2a) and to the exhaust line (2b), which is connected to the gas intake line (2a) via the recirculation line (2c). A first valve (15) controls the air flow upstream of the recirculation line (2c) and a second valve (16) controls the flow of exhaust gas recirculated in the recirculation line (2c). In the method of the invention, the exhaust gas recirculation line is controlled in particular by measuring the pressure difference across the second valve ( 16 ). The method comprises the following steps: a) the first and second valves (15, 16) are closed, the first valve (15) being set, in the closed position, to allow air leakage flow to pass; b) the first and second valves ( 15, 16) open concomitantly so as to create a sufficient pressure differential across the end of the second valve (16) to enable measurement of the pressure differential in this end. Thanks to the invention, the pressure difference across the ends of the second valve ( 16 ) remains high enough to allow efficient measurement of said pressure difference.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method of controlling an exhaust gas recirculation line of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, to a three-way valve for carrying out the method and to an engine comprising such a valve. Background technique [0002] A motor vehicle internal combustion engine includes a combustion chamber, usually formed by a plurality of cylinders, in which a mixture of oxidant and fuel is combusted to produce engine work. The oxidant includes air, which may or may not be compressed, depending on whether the engine has a compressor; when it is compressed, it may be called charge air. In addition, air (often referred to as "fresh air") can also be mixed with exhaust gases; these are referred to as recirculated exhaust gases, and this mode of operation is generally known to those skilled in the art as EGR (according to the English acronym), which stands for "Exhaust gas recirculation". The gas entering the combustion chamber is ...
