Title: Exhaust gas recirculating system
IPC: F02M25/07
Filed: 1974-09-27
Abstract: 1451853 Controlling exhaust gas recirculation in IC engines FORD MOTOR CO Ltd 27 Sept 1974 [23 Oct 1973] 42010/74 Heading FIB [Also in Division F2] A system for controlling the recirculation of exhaust gases in an internal combustion engine having a carburetter 12 with a throttle valve 28 and a duct 44, 46 for leading exhaust gases to an engine intake manifold 36 includes a valve 56 operative to close and open the duct 44 upon application of vacuum to a servomotor 58. In the carburetter induction passage 18, there is located a port 82, so arranged that when the throttle valve 28 is closed it is subjected to atmospheric pressure, and as the throttle valve is opened it is subjected to an increasing degree of vacuum from the intake manifold. A conduit 114, 74 connects the port 82 with the servomotor 58, so that the vacuum level in the conduit 114, 74 operates the valve 56 to open or close the duct 44, 46. There is provided, connected to conduit 114, 74, a vacuum regulator 88 for adjusting the vacuum level in conduit 114, 74 by bleeding air into the conduit, and a switch 86 for shutting off or for permitting a flow of air to the vacuum regulator. The switch 86 is preferably operated by the degree of vacuum in the intake manifold 36 (as sensed at a port 80). The system operates as follows:- (1) At idling speed the throttle valve 28 is substantially closed, the port 82 is at atmospheric pressure, and the diaphragm 66 in the servomotor 58 is forced downwards to close the duct 44, 46 by valve-member 56, so that no exhaust gas can be recirculated.  (2) At low accelerations a vacuum is induced at port 82 and in conduit 114, 74 when the throttle valve 28 is not wide open. The level of vacuum in the intake manifold 36 remains high so that switch 86 remains open to bleed air into the regulator 88 and conduit 114, 74. The counterbalancing of force from spring 106' and vacuum force in the conduit 114, 74 operates to bring the valvemember 56 into an equilibrium position, allowing restricted passage of exhaust gases to the intake manifold 36. (3) As the throttle opens at higher accelerations, the intake manifold vacuum becomes sufficiently low to trip the switch 86 preventing bleeding of air into the regulator 88 and conduits 114, 74. A degree of vacuum is however maintained in the conduits 114, 74 allowing valve-member 56 to open completely and allow unrestricted recirculation of exhaust gases. (4) When the throttle valve 28 moves into wide open position the vacuum at port 82 decays and valve seat 56 closes to prevent exhaust gas recirculation.  The Specification also discloses the construction of a combined switch and regulator Fig. 3 (not shown) - see Division F2.
