“…Experimental studies of fuel economy for EGR application in diesel engines show three major different results in the ir findings . According to Bae et al ( 1999) , there were no significant var iations in a specific fuel consumption -rate when EGR was applied alone up to 40% EGR rate and when the scrubber was incorporated with EGR up to 20% EGR rate; other studies (Larsen and Levendis, 1997;Kreso et al, 1998) reported degradation in fuel economy due to an EGR application. According to Psaras et al ( 1997) , however, optimized EG R application in diesel engines produced no significant var iation in fuel economy.…”

The effects of recirculated exhaust gas on the characteristics of NOx and soot emissions under a wide range of engine loads were experimentally investigated by using a four-cycle, four -cylinder, swirl chamber type, water-cooled diesel engine operating at three engine speeds. The purpose of this study was to develop the EGR-control system for reducing NOx and soot emissions simultaneously in diesel engines. The EGR system is used to reduce NOx emissions, and a novel diesel soot removal device with a cylinder-type scrubber for the experiment system was specially designed and manufactured to reduce soot contents in the recirculated exhaust gas to the intake system of the engine. The experiments were performed at the fixed fuel injection timing of 4°ATDC regardless of experimental conditions. It was found that soot emissions in exhaust gases were reduced by 20 to 70% when the scrubber was applied in the range of the experimental conditions, and that NOx emissions decreased markedly, especially at higher loads, while soot emissions increased owing to the decrease in intake and exhaust oxygen concentrations, and the increase in equivalence ratio as the EGR rate is elevated.
