Re: E' da chiudere questa EGR?

Primi risultati delle mie inchieste.
Un ricercatore greco mi ha detto che a loro una volta si e' ROTTA su un motore al banco dopo meno di un anno. Secondo lui con gli acidi derivanti da zolfo e NOx si era corrosa la parte in metallo di cattiva qualita'.
Secondo la sua esperienza i NOx vanno su dal 40% al doppio a seconda delle condizioni di funzionamento.
Sembra che i Renault 1.9 abbiano questo problema abbastanza frequente (ma da qui al 75%.... e' ancora da provare)
Ho anche trovato questo:
What is the EGR valve and what can happen when it fails? Not much used to be heard about this valve until turbos started to appear.
What does EGR stand for and what is the valve supposed to do? EGR is the acronym for Exhaust Gas Recirculation. More than 30 years ago when the US EPA showed concern about NOx (Nitrogen Oxide) emissions, GM engineers came up with the idea of the EGR valve. Its basic function is to reduce NOx emissions. I shall not go into the problems caused by these emissions now or later. They are already well documented
When an engine is under load, the very high combustion chamber temperatures produced will increase the amount of NOx. The problem was how to reduce it. The answer - the good ol' EGR valve. This was designed to allow carbon dioxide to be introduced into the combustion chambers as a "coolant" gas. Now like all things produced by man, this valve too had its problems. The EGR valve was designed to open and close at appropriate moments but it could get sticky or even stuck! If it was stuck open, you'd find the engine would have a rough idle or stall. If closed the combustion chamber temperatures would rise under load and you would get "knocking".
Now along comes the turbo. Turbos means boost and this is created by exhaust gases. Turbos will seize if the exhaust gas temperatures get very high for longish periods as the lubrication will fail due to the increased heat. So if the EGR valve is stuck closed, you've got expensive problems in the pipeline!
Cioe': se chiudete l'EGR le temperature salgono e aumenta il rischio di bruciare il turbo per cattiva lubrificazione. Non che creda al 100% a quello che trovo suinternet, ma il ragionamento ha senso.
