The functioning of the device is maintained by delivery of a portion of exhaust gas from
the exhaust manifold via the EGR cooler into the intake manifold, as a result of the natu-
ral difference between the exhaust gas pressure in front of the turbine and that of the
charge air.
The presence of exhaust gases in the air charge coming to the engine cylinders provides
froming of local zones in the combustion process allowing to reduce the amounts of ni-
trogene oxides. Afterburning of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons also contributes to
improving the eclological parameters of exhaust gas contents.
1 – recirculated exhaust gas cooler; 2* – mixer; 3 *– spacer; 4 – recirculated exhaust gas inlet branch
pipe from turbocharger to EGR; 5 - recirculated exhaust gas inlet branch pipe from cooler to mixer; 6 –
turbocharger.
* - the recirculated exhaust gas inlet and outlet elements design may be different with developers of
tractors or agricultural machines for the reason proper fitting in a vehicle and must be approved with
MMP.

1.2.2.6.7 Diesel engine gas exchange system
The diesel engine gas exchange diagram together with breathers is shown on Fig.14.
Breather is designed to prevent excessive pressure in the lubrication system created by
the exhaust gas penetrating into the oil sump through the gas joints of the cylinder-piston
group and oil injection into the atmosphere.
In the implemented gas exchange system the crankcase gases, via the channels in the cyl-
inder block and the cylinder head, come into the cavity formed by the cylinder head cover
and the cover cap. Breather housing 1 (Fig. 14) is mounted on cover cap 4 of the cylinder
head. The crankcase gases rush through the slots of cup 6 into breather housing 1 under
the influence of the pressure difference in the atmosphere and in the cavity of the cylinder
head cover. Having got into the cup cavity, the crankcase gases expand and strike against
oil deflector 2, lose their energy and cool down. As a resul,t a significant portion of the
oil mist falls down as oil. The crankcase gases cleaned from oil then get into the atmos-
phere.
