Automotive EGR Valves Market Introduction

Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is a technique that is used to reduce emission from internal combustion engines, primarily diesel engines and petrol or gasoline engines. The key purpose of this technique is the reduction in emission of harmful nitrogen oxide. EGR assists the engine and its components by recirculating some part of the exhaust gas to the cylinder of engine.

There is difference in the way the exhaust gas is recirculated in a petrol/ gasoline engine and in a diesel engine. In a petrol or gasoline engine, exhaust gas in the engine cylinder gets displaced. In case of a diesel engine, excess oxygen in the exhaust mixture is replaced with exhaust from previous cycle.

Regulation of the exhaust gas in the cylinder is carried out by the Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve (EGR valve), which is integral part of EGR system. The market of the EGR valve is directly proportional to the demand for EGR technology, as the EGR valve is a vital component of the EGR system.
