The system is designed to reduce the toxicity of exhaust gases

It functions in all engine operating modes, with the exception of idling and full throttle opening mode, and is also blocked when the engine temperature is below 40 ° C.

The system consists of a recirculation valve with a diaphragm, a thermal vacuum switch and two hoses.

Scheme of the exhaust gas recirculation system: 1 - hose from the thermal vacuum switch to the recirculation valve; 2 - hose from the thermal vacuum switch to the carburetor; 3 - carburetor; 4 - thermal vacuum switch; 5 - cylinder head; 6 - exhaust manifold; 7 - inlet pipeline; 8 - recirculation valve; A - on a cold engine; B - on an engine warmed up to a temperature of 40 degrees, at partial loads

The thermal vacuum switch valve is closed when the engine is cold.

The switch is connected by one hose to the carburetor over-throttle space, and when the engine is running, a vacuum is created in the hose.

Another hose goes to the switch from the recirculation valve.

When the engine warms up, the thermal vacuum switch valve opens and passes vacuum to the recirculation valve, opening it.

Part of the exhaust gases through the bypass hole is sucked into the intake manifold and burns out in the engine cylinders, which reduces the toxicity of the exhaust gases.

Removing the thermal vacuum switch and recirculation valve

Drain part of the liquid from the cooling system.
