| | Clarification request(s) and responseKim Metzger: 12:35am Sep 16, 2004: Hi Brandis, are you sure the system is for air-conditioning? - Brandis (asker): 12:54am Sep 16, 2004: yes, it is part of a leakage detecting unit. Here is a sample " Das Gerät kann durch das Umschalten auch in Klimaanlagen eingesetzt werden" Sounds like a multipurpose cooling system. Brandis (asker): 12:56am Sep 16, 2004: As I understand this gadget was originally developed for industrial cooling systems and later redesigned to fit the automobile air-conditioning Brandis (asker): 1:53am Sep 16, 2004: Here is a further sampling, "Das Gerät kann auch mit Kältemittel R-134 und R-12 eingesetzt werden." Whether this could change the term definition!!

EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation)
The purpose of the EGR port is to feed exhaust gas from the exhaust system back into the intake air flow whenever the coolant temperature is high enough and the ported vacuum is also high (ie, not during startup and only during heavy loads or hard acceleration). This decreases the engine temperature, which in turn decreases the emission of harmful nitrous oxide (NOx) gases. Reduced temps will reduce pinging, which will in turn allow you to advance your timing farther for better power throughout most of the RPM range. By diluting your intake charge with exhaust gas, the EGR will reduce your peak horsepower at higher RPM's, but it will not adversely affect power under normal driving conditions. In fact, with the base ignition timing properly set, the EGR will allow for increased power at low- and mid-range RPM's.
