ABSTRACT:
In an exhaust-gas recycling device for an internal combustion engine, especially a diesel engine, in which the quantity of the recycled exhaust-gas part stream is controlled by an exhaust-gas recycling valve equipped with a diaphragm, the material of which can be destroyed above a specific temperature, a reliable closing of the valve before the critical diaphragm temperature is reached will be achieved. For this purpose, the diaphragm is loaded by a spring, the spring force of which is temperature-dependent. If the temperature dependence is to set, for example by the use of a memory material, that, in a predeterminable upper temperature range, the spring force increases with an increasing temperature, the valve can be closed to prevent diaphragm overheating in an engine-operating state in which it would still be opened per set for the recycling of exhaust gas. Not only a memory alloy, but also a bimetal or combination of these two materials is suitable as a material for a spring acting in this way.
