ABSTRACT:
In an exhaust gas recirculation system for an internal combustion engine of the type including an exhaust gas recirculation passage for communicating an exhaust tube with an intake tube downstream of a throttle valve disposed therein for recirculating part of exhaust gases from the exhaust tube into the intake tube, and a control valve for controlling the flow rate of exhaust gases flowing through the recirculation passage, there are provided negative pressure control means responsive to the negative intake pressure downstream of the throttle valve in the intake tube for generating a pressure signal the magnitude of which is in proportion to the load on the internal combustion engine, and a modulator responsive to the pressure in the recirculation passage upstream of the control valve for controlling the pressure signal, whereby the pressure signal which is controlled by the modulator operates the recirculation gas flow rate control valve in such a manner that the volume of exhaust gases to be recirculated may be in proportion to the load on the engine.
