2007 Compass Patriot MK Factory Service Manual 7 - COOLING

COOLER-EGR

DESCRIPTION



The EGR cooler (7) cools recirculated exhaust gasses to reduce combustion temperature and a greater mass of exhaust gases can thus be circulated. There is less nitrogen oxides as a result.

The EGR cooler (7) allows the engine and catalytic converter to reach their operating temperature quickly.
