Three-way exhaust gas recirculation valve arrangement comprising three fluid openings for the exhaust gas recirculation of an internal combustion engine, the valve arrangement comprising: - a valve housing forming the first fluid opening , the second fluid opening and the third fluid opening , - a large-volume opening forming the first fluid opening , - a register flap (I) comprising: - a small-volume flap comprising a closing body , - a large-volume flap for closing the large-volume opening , the large-volume flap comprising a small-volume opening adapted to be closed by the closing body , and the small-volume flap being movably connected with the large-volume flap by means of a connecting element, and - a tappet limiting the degree of opening of the large-volume flap to the small-volume flap , and - a flap shaft carrying the flaps , the flap shaft being continuously movable between: - a closed position in which the large-volume flap closes the large-volume opening and the closing body closes the small-volume opening , - a small-volume opening position in which the closing body is spaced from the small-volume flap when the large-volume opening abuts on the small-volume opening , and - a large-volume opening position in which the large-volume flap is lifted from the large-volume opening by means of the tappet . - a valve housing forming the first fluid opening , the second fluid opening and the third fluid opening , - a large-volume opening forming the first fluid opening , - a register flap (I) comprising: - a small-volume flap comprising a closing body , - a large-volume flap for closing the large-volume opening , the large-volume flap comprising a small-volume opening adapted to be closed by the closing body , and the small-volume flap being movably connected with the large-volume flap by means of a connecting element, and - a tappet limiting the degree of opening of the large-volume flap to the small-volume flap , and - a small-volume flap comprising a closing body , - a large-volume flap for closing the large-volume opening , the large-volume flap comprising a small-volume opening adapted to be closed by the closing body , and the small-volume flap being movably connected with the large-volume flap by means of a connecting element, and - a tappet limiting the degree of opening of the large-volume flap to the small-volume flap , and - a flap shaft carrying the flaps , the flap shaft being continuously movable between: - a closed position in which the large-volume flap closes the large-volume opening and the closing body closes the small-volume opening , - a small-volume opening position in which the closing body is spaced from the small-volume flap when the large-volume opening abuts on the small-volume opening , and - a large-volume opening position in which the large-volume flap is lifted from the large-volume opening by means of the tappet . - a closed position in which the large-volume flap closes the large-volume opening and the closing body closes the small-volume opening , - a small-volume opening position in which the closing body is spaced from the small-volume flap when the large-volume opening abuts on the small-volume opening , and - a large-volume opening position in which the large-volume flap is lifted from the large-volume opening by means of the tappet . <EOS>
