Abstract

Recently, diesel engine has been frequently applied to RV, SUV and light duty truck due to the good fuel economy and high thermal efficiency. $NO_x$ and PM, environmental pollution materials are basically produced in diesel combustion process. The most important target in diesel engine research is the development of system to reduce the emissions of $NO_x$ and PM. Cooled EGR system is an effective method for the reduction of $NO_x$ emission and PM emission from a diesel engine and EGR cooler is the key component of the system. This study investigates the EGR cooler of oval gas tubes compared with the EGR cooler of shell & tubes to verify the heat exchange efficiency of cooler by means of engine dynamometer tests, rig performance tests and numerical analyses.
