This can cause the exhaust gas back pressure to rise even more, however soot combustion should then cause this pressure to return to the authorized range. The engines of the 50Z3 and 6003 machines are equipped with an exhaust gas recirculation valve that closes if the engine is cold and under high load, and therefore significantly raises the exhaust gas back pressure.
