Injection
start

With conventional models, there is the no-injection state, but with common rail models, pre-injection
is started and ignition starts.

Ignition

Conventional models start injection at this point in time, but common rail models have already
ignited with pre-injection and now start the 2nd injection (main injection).

Combustion

Common rail models divide the high-pressure fuel injection over many times to make it possible to
create a uniform, complete combustion state in the combustion chamber and also to reduce the
engine noise and vibration.

EGR (exhaust gas recirculation)
EGR system is an abbreviation for "exhaust gas recirculation" system. The EGR system recirculates
part of the exhaust gas in the intake manifold and mixes inactive gases with the suction air to reduce
the combustion temperature and suppress the generation of nitrogen oxides (NOx). The EGR quan-
tity is controlled by the operation (opening and closing) of the EGR valve, which is installed between
the exhaust manifold and the intake manifold.
The ERG quantity is determined from the engine speed and engine load ratio (fuel injection quan-
tity) and the EGR amount is controlled. A cooling system (EGR cooler) is installed in the EGR gas
path to cool the high-temperature EGR gas with this EGR cooler. This cooled EGR gas is mixed with
new air intake to make the combustion temperature lower than with normal EGR, which contributes
to the reduction of NOx. (Cooled EGR)

Explanation of Engine Structure

The ECM operates the motor according to such engine states as the speed and load and controls
the EGR valve lift amount.
The valve lift amount is detected by the EGR position sensor. The sections shown in darker color in
the diagram have larger valve lift amount. The darkest color indicates a lift amount near 100 %.
