Structure
q The size of the body is reduced from the con-
ventional type without changing the diameter
of the element.
q Since the inlet is set in the tangential direction,
air is given sufficient centrifugal force by the
simple spiral guide vane, not by the guide
plate.
Operation
q Air containing dust is sucked in vertically
through inlet (1) and the dust is separated by
the centrifugal effect of guide vane (3).
q More than 99.9% of the dust is removed by pri-
mary element (4) and clean air is sucked in the
engine through safety element (5) and outlet
(2).
q The dust and water separated by guide vane
(3) swirl along the inside wall of body (9) and
enter evacuator valve (6) and then are dis-
charged out automatically.

EGR system 1

No. Component part Function

• Controls the gas flow from the exhaust system to the air intake system.
EGR valve (driven hydrau-
1 • Since the exhaust pressure (PEX) is higher than the boost pressure (PIN), the
lically)
exhaust gas flows to the air intake valve.
• Opens the bypass valve when the boost pressure (PIN) is higher than the exhaust
pressure (PEX).
2 Bypass valve ( 1)
• Makes the intake air flow to the exhaust side to increase the exhaust pressure so
that the exhaust gas will be returned to the air intake side easily.
3 EGR cooler • Lowers the exhaust temperature and returns the exhaust gas to the air intake side.
4 Venturi system • Generates negative pressure with the venturi effect and takes in the exhaust gas.
• Controls the EGR according to the operating condition.
5 Each sensor
• Troubleshoots the system.
1: There may not be equipped according to the machine model.

Features
q The exhaust gas is kept clean by sensing each
part of the EGR circuit and controlling the EGR
rate according to the operating condition.
q Since the EGR circuit is monitored and trouble-
shooted, a serious trouble is prevented.

7. Bypass piping ( 1)
8. EGR piping
9. EGR oil pump

Operation
q The engine controller outputs signals for open-
ing EGR valve (1) most properly according to
the load on the engine to attain both clean
exhaust gas and low fuel consumption.
q If EGR valve (1) opens, a part of the exhaust
gas (EGR gas) flows from the exhaust mani-
fold through EGR piping (8) to EGR cooler (3).
q The exhaust gas cooled by EGR cooler (3)
flows through EGR valve (1) and mixes with
the intake air in venturi system (4), and then
flows in the air intake manifold.
q In the operating range where the boost pres-
sure is higher than the exhaust pressure on the
high load side, the EGR gas does not flow to
the air intake side easily. At this time, the
engine controller opens bypass valve (2). ( 1)
q If bypass valve (2) opens, the intake air flows
through bypass piping (7). As a result, the
exhaust pressure rises and more EGR gas
mixes with the intake air. ( 1)

Function q Valve (7) is closed by spring (6) but pushed

q The EGR valve controls the EGR gas.
q This valve is driven hydraulically and its open-
ing ratio is controlled electronically.
Operation
q The oil pressure (engine oil) of 1.47 MPa {15
kg/cm2} supplied to oil inlet (A) is reduced by
oil pressure control valve (2).
q Hydraulic piston (5) generates pressing force
from the reduced oil pressure.
q The control oil pressure can be changed with
the drive current of solenoid (3).
open by hydraulic piston (5) to an opening ratio
in proportion to the control oil pressure.
q The valve opening ratio is sensed with position
sensor (4) installed to hydraulic piston (5) and
set to the specified opening ratio by controlling
the solenoid current.
q The bypass valve assists the EGR gas by
increasing the exhaust pressure. ( 1)
q The structure and operation of the EGR
bypass valve are the same as those of the
EGR valve.

EGR cooler

A: EGR gas inlet D: Coolant outlet

C: Coolant inlet

1. Heat exchange tube (Corrugated tube)

Function
q The EGR cooler cools the high-temperature
EGR gas taken out of the exhaust gas to
increase the gas density, or the EGR effi-
ciency.

Structure
q The EGR cooler is a multi-tube heat
exchanger. When the high-temperature EGR
gas flows through heat exchange tube (1), it is
cooled by the coolant flowing outside of the
tube.
q Heat exchange tube (1) is made of corrosion-
resistant stainless steel and corrugated to
increase the cooling efficiency.

3. Diffuser

Structure
q The EGR gas and intake air mix together in the
venturi system.
q The venturi system consists of throat (2), ven-
turi nozzle (1), and diffuser (3).

Operation
q The boost pressure increased by the turbo-
charger is set negative temporarily with the
venturi effect of the throat to take the EGR gas
into the intake air through venturi nozzle (1).
q When the mixture of the EGR gas and intake
air flows through diffuser (3), its pressure is
increased again to the normal level and then it
flows in the intake manifold.
