As shown in figure 8.1, cardiorespiratory endurance requires fitness of your heart, lungs, blood, blood vessels, and muscles. In this lesson, youâll learn how proper physical activity improves your cardiorespiratory endurance. Youâll also learn how to assess your cardiorespiratory endurance.
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is a system that takes exhaust gas from a dieselâs exhaust manifold and reintroduces it into the intake of the engine to reduce the combustion chamber temperature.
EGR operates when conditions exist that cause pinging or valve clatter. A valve opens and circulates exhaust gas into the intake manifold to cool the combustion process. Exhaust gas is very low in oxygen. Adding exhaust gas to the fuel/air mixture, helps lower cylinder temperature.
