Abstract
An engine assembly () comprising an engine, a plurality of coolers, a plurality of bypasses, and at least one actuator (). The engine has an exhaust manifold and an intake manifold. The gaseous fluid exiting the exhaust manifold is recirculated to the intake manifold. The exhaust gas passes through either an air cooler or a bypass. At least one actuator is operably connected to the plurality of bypasses. The bypasses have a valve () which is actuated to control the flow of the gaseous fluid through the bypass as both the bypass and the cooler. Therefore, when a single actuator is used to control the valves in both bypasses, the valves in the bypasses have the same relationship with the inlets so that a single actuator movement will control both valves in the same manner.
