RESUMO

Automotive vehicles are responsible for the most of locomotion in the modern world. The mainly propulsive energy used is based on burning of fossil fuels. In real combustion systems the chemical process involved a high complexity which results mainly in five types of air pollutants, that are, carbon monoxide, organic compounds as hydrocarbons unburned or partially burned, ashes, oxides sulfur and nitrogen oxides. Due to growing of necessity to care the environment concern, emissions standards have been reviewed periodically and one of the main is European Standard defined as Euro that discipline European vehicles and other countries like Brazil that concern it as a model. The most critical diesel engine emission are nitrogen oxides, NOx (NO + NO2) and particulate matter. The different techniques used to reduce the formation of these pollutants can be divided into those applied during the combustion process and other applied only after combustion, in the exhaust gases. This study used a technique that operates in the combustion process known as EGR, Exhaust Gas Recirculation. The object of study is a fourcylinder diesel engine, in line, equipped with EGR that meets the ,Euro III emission standards with NOx limit as 5,0 g / kWh. The premise work was evaluated the potential of this engine to achieve the Euro VI emission levels, with NOx limit as 0,4 g / kWh. To do this the original basic engine parts will be kept, to changing only the components that are part of the EGR system. The study was conducted at different stages I, II and III, to identify which EGR components have more influence to reduce NOx. The results are consider satisfactory, reaching values close to the goal, thus demonstrating that the study is of great applicability to current and future engines
