Title: System for purging exhaust gases from an exhaust gas recirculation system
Inventor: SISKEN KEVIN D
IPC: F02M25/07
Filed: 2003-01-09
Abstract: A system for providing exhaust gas recirculation in a multi-cylinder compression ignition internal combustion engine includes an EGR valve (134) in communication with an exhaust side (124) of the engine to selectively direct exhaust gases to the EGR system. Charge air is directed through the engine and/or EGR system to purge exhaust gases from the EGR system. Charge air may be supplied to the EGR system by maintaining the intake manifold (122) pressure above the pressure in the exhaust manifold (124). The system may direct air through the EGR system to purge exhaust gases from the EGR system upon engine shutdown. With an engine which powers a generator set, the EGR may be held closed during an engine spin down period to prevent exhaust gases from continuing to enter the EGR system. Alternatively, on shutting off the fuel supply to cause the engine to spin down, the EGR valve may be held open to purge gases from the EGR system.
