Abstract

An apparatus for producing a fresh air stream, has a blower connectable at a pressure side with an exhaust gas conduit of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, a fresh air supply element communicatable with the exhaust gas conduit, a check valve provided between the blower and an opening of the fresh air supply element into the exhaust gas conduit, a cut-off arranged in the fresh air supply element between the check valve and its opening into the exhaust gas conduit and having a closing member loaded with a spring force toward a closing position, an actuating member for the closing member, and a bypass branching from the fresh air supply element so that a pressure which builds when the blower operates and is supplied through the bypass to the actuating member for the closing member acts opposite to the spring force.
