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.

Abstract: Vehicle having a Diesel engine comprising an intake section by means of which fresh air is taken in by a compress of an exhaust gas turbocharger, is compressed and is supplied to the Diesel engine by way of a charge air cooler, and an exhaust system in which exhaust gas flowing out of the Diesel engine drives a turbine of the exhaust gas turbocharger rotationally coupled with the compressor, and the exhaust gas flows through a carbon particle filter behind the turbine. The exhaust system has a branch-off valve which, in the flow direction of the exhaust gas, is arranged behind the carbon particle filter and is in a fluid connection with the intake section. A partial volume flow of the exhaust gas can be fed to the intake section by way of the branch-off valve.
