A mixing valve of an exhaust-gas recirculation device of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle includes an intake flap and an exhaust-gas flap coupled rigidly to one another via a coupling rod. During driving of the exhaust-gas flap, the intake flap is first pivoted in the opposite direction via the coupling rod. The exhaust-gas flap and intake flap are pivoted in the same direction only above a provided pivoting angle.

A negative pressure control valve (44) is disposed in a part of an intake passage (12) upstream of a confluence (30) of an EGR passage (27) and the intake passage (12). When in an EGR region (Regr) where an EGR gas is recirculated to the intake passage (12) through the EGR passage (27), the negative pressure control valve (44) is controlled in a manner to ensure a differential pressure between an exhaust passage (13) and the intake passage (12). When in an operation region (R2) lower in load than the EGR region (Regr), the negative pressure control valve (44) is controlled in a closing direction so as to suppress occurrence of noise.

A valve housing for an exhaust-gas valve includes a first housing half-shell and a second housing half-shell, wherein the first housing half-shell and the second housing half-shell complement each other to form the valve housing. A first valve seat for a valve flap assembly and a swivel bearing mount to swivel mount the valve flap assembly are formed exclusively on the first housing half-shell. Furthermore, an exhaust-gas valve having such a valve housing and an exhaust system having such an exhaust-gas valve are presented. A vehicle having such an exhaust system is also presented. In addition, a method of manufacturing an exhaust-gas valve is explained.

A mixed-gas intake device of an engine comprises an air intake duct. A side wall of the air intake duct is provided with an exhaust inlet. The mixed-gas intake device is characterized in that the same also comprises blades disposed in the air intake duct and a flow control device used for adjusting the distance between two adjacent blades. The blades are arranged at an exhaust inlet end. The multiple blades are arranged in a ring. An exhaust intake space is formed between the side wall of the air intake duct and the blades. The mixed-gas intake device uses the flow control device to adjust the distance between two adjacent blades, so as to adjust the amount of input exhaust, thereby eliminating the need to install a dedicated valve. The multiple blades are arranged in a ring, such that exhaust is evenly mixed with air after entering the air intake duct, thereby eliminating the need to install a dedicated mixer, and effectively reducing the overall volume of the mixed-gas intake device. Further disclosed is an engine comprising the mixed-gas intake device.
