An EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) thermostat is an essential component in a car's engine system. Its primary function is to regulate the flow of exhaust gases into the intake manifold. The EGR system is designed to reduce harmful emissions and increase fuel efficiency. The thermostat is responsible for ensuring that the right amount of exhaust gases are recirculated back into the engine, maintaining the optimal air-to-fuel ratio for combustion.

When the EGR thermostat is activated, it opens up a passage between the exhaust and intake manifold, allowing a controlled amount of exhaust gases to enter the combustion chamber. This process helps to lower the combustion temperature by diluting the fresh air with inert gases. As a result, the formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx) is reduced, and the production of harmful emissions is minimized. Properly functioning EGR thermostat ensures the engine's performance is within emission regulations while promoting a cleaner, more efficient operation.
