Diesel emission regulations continue to be tight-
ened in many countries, necessitating diesel engines with the least possible emissions. Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is one of the most effective methods for reducing the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) of diesel engines. EGR system has already been used to mass-produced diesel engines, in which EGR is used at the low and medium load of engine operating condition, resulting in effective NOx reduction. In order to meet future emission standards, EGR must be done over wider range of engine operation, and heavier EGR rate will be needed. It is especially important for EGR to be done in a high engine load range since the amount of NOx is larger than the other engine operation conditions.
EGR systems adapted to the diesel engines of trucks usually recirculate exhaust gas utilizing the pressure difference between upstream part of the turbocharger turbine and downstream part of the compressor
