This paper proposes a position control method for a low-cost exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve system for automotive applications. Generally, position control systems used in automotive applications have many restrictions, such as cost and space. The mechanical structure of the actuator causes high friction and large differences between static friction and coulomb friction. When this large friction difference occurs, the position control vibrates when the controller uses a conventional linear controller such as the P or PI controller. In this paper, we introduce an inexpensive position control method that can be applied under the high-difference-friction mechanical systems. The proposed method is verified through the use of experiments by comparing it with the results obtained when using a conventional control system.

This paper proposes a position control method for low cost EGR valve system in automotive application. Generally, position control system using in automotive application has many restrictions such as cost and space, the mechanical structure of actuator implies high friction and large difference between static friction and coulomb friction. This large friction difference occurs the vibrated position control result when the controller uses conventional linear controller such as P, PI. In this paper, low cost position control method which can apply under the condition of high difference friction mechanical system. Proposed method is verified by comparing conventional control result of experiments.

Petrol engines are known for their simplicity, low cost and maintenance. However nowadays use of two stroke petrol engines are fading away from the market. An attempt has been made here to revive the use of these old engines by using Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) to improve performances.Short circuiting of fresh charge is an important contributing factor for reduction in performance in two stroke engines. Our project is aimed to reduce short circuiting of fresh charge by admitting cooled exhaust gas to pass through reed valves fitted at the upper end of the transfer passage, in a crank case scavenged two stroke engine. Reed valves were provided at the upper end of the transfer passage using a flange arrangement. Exhaust gas temperature at around 4000 was cooled using a heat exchanger to avoid pre-ignition inside the engine cylinder. The performance of the engine is tested using eddy current dynamometer. The study indicates an appreciable decrease in specific fuel consumption and in HC/CO emissions in a crank case scavenged two stroke engine.
