If the EGR rate exceeds the standard EGR rate, since incomplete combustion is likely to occur in the engine, the opening amount of the EGR valve 450 is reduced (S80). After reducing the opening amount of the EGR valve 450, the EGR rate is calculated again (S60) and compared with the reference EGR rate (S70), and when the EGR rate is larger than the reference EGR rate, the opening of the EGR valve 450 is again performed. Reduce the quantity (S80). In this manner, the above process can be repeated until the EGR rate becomes less than or equal to the reference EGR rate. At this time, the reference EGR rate may be a value in the range of 20% to 30%, for example 25%. However, the reference EGR rate may vary from 25%, depending on the characteristics of the engine.
- the calculated EGR rate is less than the reference EGR rate, it can be carried out by returning to the step (S10) to calculate the amount of exhaust gas sent from the exhaust line to the intake line according to the engine operating conditions and repeat the above process.
- the EGR valve control method includes an open loop control system, and is configured to correct the opening amount of the EGR valve 450 only when the exhaust gas temperature exceeds the reference temperature. Since the exhaust gas temperature can be measured by the exhaust gas temperature sensor, it is not necessary to have an additional separate sensor, thereby lowering the manufacturing cost and simplifying the structure of the engine system.
- the open-loop control system as in the exemplary embodiment also has the effect of preventing the temperature of the exhaust gas from rising above the reference value without significantly impairing the performance of the theoretical air-fuel ratio CNG engine.
- An engine including a control unit for adjusting an opening amount of an EGR valve according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and an EGR valve control method of the engine generally use an exhaust gas temperature sensor that is basically installed in a vehicle without installing an additional sensor. By adjusting the opening amount of the EGR valve it can be used to appropriately control the temperature of the exhaust gas.
