Variable valve timing engine

摘要

An EGR passage 8 that recirculates exhaust gases in an exhaust pipe 5 of an engine 1 to an intake system by negative intake-gas pressure is provided. An intake cam 24 that opens and closes an intake valve 6 is provided so that a phase angle of the intake cam 24 may be adjusted through a VTC 27 (phase angle adjustment means). The phase angle of the intake cam 24 is adjusted in accordance with increase or decrease of a flow rate of recirculation of exhaust gases, thus restricting occurrence of NOx.
