Reducing emissions through Krytox™.

New CO2 emission reduction targets have significantly increased the need for measurement and control accuracy in the engine air management system. The purpose of exhaust gas recirculation is to reduce engine emissions and fuel consumption, and increase engine performance.

The complexity of the engine air management system requires engineers and manufacturers to optimize the performance of parts of the entire system. Accordingly, lubrication solutions for the systems and its parts must exhibit high temperature stability and resistance to corrosive exhaust fumes.

The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve reduces the formation of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by recirculating some of the spent gas back into the engine cylinders. This lowers peak temperatures inside the cylinder, reducing the rate of NOx formation. If the valve does not open wide enough, insufficient recirculation occurs, producing pollutants. If, however, the valve opens, the temperature inside the cylinder can drop too low, reducing engine performance and wasting fuel.

Krytox ™ Performance lubricants are the ideal choice because they resist high temperatures and EGR valve exhaust fumes.

Lubrication specialist Krytox ™ is enhancing EGR valve performance through the highest quality greases. Extensive tests prove its effectiveness at extreme temperatures and under severe vibration conditions. This lubricant improves durability, reliability and performance.
