Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Cooler: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2022 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2022 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty, 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty, and 2021 Ford F-550 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The EGR cooler removes heat from the exhaust gases before the gases enter the intake manifold. When the exhaust gases are directed through the EGR cooler, coolant from the engine cooling system reduces the exhaust gas temperature. The exhaust gases are directed through the EGR cooler by a PCM controlled EGR cooler bypass valve.
