New EGR Cooler Opel 1.6 CDTi

The component identified by the original code 55487874 è a heat exchanger for the EGR system, used in Opel diesel engines equipped with exhaust gas recirculation system. This device is responsible for cooling the exhaust gases before they are reintroduced into the intake manifold, thereby reducingì the combustion temperature and contributing to the reduction of nitrogen oxide (NOₓ) emissions.

Technical specifications

The OE EGR exchanger 55487874 è made of high-temperature resistant stainless steel and resistant to chemical corrosion. Internally è equipped with a tube bundle or microchannel structure that allows heat exchange between the exhaust gases and the engine cooling circuit.

The module canò be integrated or paired with the electronic EGR valve, depending on the vehicle and the installed configuration. È designed to operate continuously, with precise thermal management through sensors and by-pass valve control in the latest models.ù recent.

DIPA canò intervene to revise these modules thanks to its experience and expertise.

Functionalityà

The EGR cooler has the task of:

• Reducing the temperature of the exhaust gases before their reintroduction into the intake manifold’.
• Improving the’efficiency of the EGR system and combustion
• Contributing to the reduction of NOₓ emissions, particularly during low and medium load driving cycles
• Protecting the EGR valve and the manifold from excessive thermal stress
