    Publication number: 20030192517
    Abstract: A method for controlling a diesel engine exhaust gas recirculation system is described. In particular, a simplified diesel engine system is provided where presence of exhaust gas recirculation of flow is controlled via a two-position valve, while a quantity of exhaust gas recirculation is adjusted by varying the throttle valve. In this way, a reduced cost diesel exhaust gas recirculation system is achieved that provides the functionality of having variable amounts of exhaust gas recirculation.
