The EGR Rate Measurement system provides DDEC with measurements resulting in EGR flow rate prediction. The EGR Rate Measurement system consists of a venturi tube with a Delta P Sensor and a Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor. Pressure differential between the venturi tube inlet, throat and along with exhaust gas temperature are converted to mass flow rate in DDEC. The venturi tube is a component of the delivery pipe.
Section 8.4.1 Removal of EGR Rate Measurement System
Removal steps are as follows:
PERSONAL INJURY
To avoid injury from hot surfaces, wear protective gloves, or allow engine to cool before removing any component.
Section 8.4.1.1 Inspection and Testing of EGR Rate Measurement System
Inspection steps are as follows:
The Delta P DDEC IV sensor using the Key On Engine Off test method. Refer to the Series 60 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Technicians Guide 7SE60. for the test method.
If the sensor was diagnosed as defective, replace the sensor.
If the sensor was diagnosed to not be defective, reuse the sensor.
The Delta P DDEC V sensor using the Key On Engine Off test method. Refer to the Series 60 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Technicians Guide 7SE60. for the test method.
If the sensor was diagnosed as defective, replace the sensor.
If the sensor was not defective, reuse the sensor.
Visually inspect the isolators for damage.
If any of the isolators are damaged, replace as necessary.
If the isolators are not damaged, reuse the components for installation.
Visually inspect the Delta P tubes for damage.
If any of the tubes are damaged, replace as necessary.
If the tubes are not damaged, reuse the components for installation.
Section 8.4.2 Installation of EGR Rate Measurement System
Install remaining three isolators (3) over studs (2) and secure bracket (11) and isolators (3) to the thermostat housing with nuts.See Figure
