Abstract
A valve unit includes an actuator, a first valve and a second valve. The first/second valve includes a first/second valve housing and a first/second valve body. The first/second valve body is rotatably arranged in the first/second valve housing. The two valves are arranged coaxially to one another and rotatable about a common adjusting axis. The actuator is non-releasably coupled to the first valve body and releasably coupled to the second valve body via the first valve body. The first valve body is rotatable in a first and second direction of rotation with the actuator. The second valve body in the coupled state is co-rotatable with the first valve body in the first/second direction of rotation and in the decoupled state is not co-rotatable with the first valve body at least in the second direction of rotation. In addition, a method for adjusting the valve unit is provided.
