Patent EP-1914415-A2 (EP)
Inventor: OHATA EIICHIRO
IPC: F02M26/47
Filed: 2007-10-18
Abstract: A conventional technique performs valve close control of an EGR valve after an EGR-gas back flow is detected. Therefore, the conventional technique has a subject that, if an EGR-gas flow direction changes from forward flow to back flow, a back flow condition will last not only for a response delay time of a detector but also for the judgment time by calculation processing and the actuation time of the EGR control valve. There is provided a control apparatus of an EGR control valve 11, comprising: an EGR control valve 11 which is provided in an exhaust gas recirculation passage to circulate exhaust gas of an combustion engine 19 from an exhaust gas passage 92 to an intake air passage; measurement means for measuring a flow rate of EGR gas flowing in the exhaust gas recirculation passage; and control means for receiving an input from the measurement means and closing the EGR control valve 11 if the EGR-gas flow rate is smaller than a predetermined threshold value when the EGR gas is flowing from the exhaust side to the intake side of the internal combustion engine 19.
