Скачать или смотреть Simply explained: Recirculation valve | Register charging | Bi-turbo mode

The recirculation valve helps to comply with the limit values of the exhaust gas legislation. If required, it opens a connecting duct between two turbochargers. It is also referred to as a "module for charge air recirculation" or a "regulating throttle".

In the low engine speed range, the electrical compressor supports starting. When accelerating in the middle engine speed range, the recirculation valve opens a connecting channel between the two turbochargers and conveys charge air out of the passive turbocharger in front of the compressor impeller of the active turbocharger. At higher engine speeds, the recirculation valve closes again and the engine is operated in bi-turbo mode.
