Abstract
An exhaust gas recirculation control device of an engine includes an exhaust turbocharger having a turbine disposed in an exhaust passage and a compressor disposed in an intake passage, low-pressure and high-pressure EGR passages connecting the exhaust passage downstream of the turbine to the intake passage upstream of the compressor and connecting the exhaust passage upstream of the turbine with the intake passage downstream of the compressor, respectively, low-pressure and high-pressure EGR valves disposed in the low-pressure and high-pressure EGR passages and for changing cross-sectional areas thereof, respectively, a valve control device for controlling openings of the low-pressure and high-pressure EGR valves, a total intake gas amount detector for detecting a total intake gas amount, a fresh air amount detector for detecting a fresh air amount, and a pressure difference detector for detecting a pressure difference between the exhaust and intake passage sides of the high-pressure EGR valve.
