Abstract: A valve arrangement is provided for an exhaust gas recirculation device of an internal-combustion engine. The engine has at least one inlet and at least one outlet. The recirculation device includes an inlet on the internal-combustion engine outlet side, an outlet on the internal-combustion engine inlet side, and several, particularly two flow paths extending between the inlet and the outlet and being parallel at least in areas. The valve arrangement has a first control element and a second control element for automatically regulating/controlling fluid flow flowing between the inlet and the outlet and automatically regulating/controlling the distribution of this fluid flow between the several flow paths. A common actuator is provided for operating the first control element as well as the second control element.

Abstract: A vehicle with an engine, especially a diesel engine, is provided and includes: an intake tract, via which air is supplied to the engine, an exhaust gas tract, via which exhaust gas emitted by the diesel engine is discharged towards an exhaust gas tailpipe and through the exhaust gas tailpipe to the environment, a branch-off valve, disposed in the exhaust gas tract and having an inlet, a first outlet, connected to the exhaust gas tailpipe, and a second outlet, connected to the intake tract. The branch-off valve has a first and second flap that are kinematically interconnected. The first flap is provided for at least partially closing the first outlet and the second flap is provided for at least partially closing the second outlet.
