X , especially during forced acceleration. When the engine is running under load, the EGR valve opens, and a small amount of exhaust gas enters the intake pipe and enters the combustion chamber together with the combustible mixture. When the engine is idling, the EGR valve is closed, and almost no exhaust gas is recirculated to the engine. Since automobile exhaust gas is a non-combustible gas, it does not participate in combustion in the combustion chamber. It absorbs part of the heat generated by combustion to reduce the combustion temperature and pressure to reduce NO X The amount of generation.
