Abstract
An EGR control device includes: a tumble generation valve, a recirculation passage, an EGR valve, an EGR valve opening degree deriving unit, and an EGR valve control unit. The tumble generation valve is configured to adjust a passage area of an intake passage of an engine. The recirculation passage is configured to recirculate an exhaust gas from an exhaust passage of the engine to the intake passage. The EGR valve is disposed on the recirculation passage and configured to open and close the recirculation passage. The EGR valve opening degree deriving unit is configured to derive an opening degree of the EGR valve on a basis of an engine speed, an engine load, and a tumble generation valve opening and closing rate. The EGR valve control unit is configured to drive and control the EGR valve to achieve the opening degree derived by the EGR valve opening degree deriving unit.
