Amount of recirculated gases is increased at heavy load on an engine so as to improve the emission control. An EGR valve has a first chamber applied with the pressure at an EGR port in an intake passage and a second chamber applied with the pressure in the intake passage at upstream of a throttle valve so as to open the EGR valve. A control valve is provided to be operated pressures in the intake passage to control the pressure in the second chamber so as to open the EGR valve at heavy load on the engine.

An exhaust gas recirculation system for an engine having a throttle valve in an intake passage, comprising: the intake passage having an EGR port provided adjacent to the upstream side of the throttle valve at the closed position thereof, a control port provided at a position at downstream of the throttle valve at the closed position, and a leak port provided at upstream of the throttle valve; an EGR valve for recirculating exhaust gases to the intake passage, the EGR valve having a diaphragm defining a first chamber applied with the pressure at the EGR port and a second chamber applied with the pressure at the leak port, a valve body connected to the diaphragm for controlling the amount of recirculated gases; a control valve having a diaphragm defining a first control chamber and a second control chamber, and valve means provided on the diaphragm, the first control chamber being applied with the pressure at the EGR port, the second control chamber being applied with the pressure at the control port through a first conduit having an end port and with the pressure at the leak port through a second conduit, the valve means being arranged to open the end port of the first conduit when the difference between pressures in the first and second control chambers exceeds a predetermined value; pressure regulating means for rendering the pressure in the second control chamber lower than the pressure in the second chamber of the EGR valve.
