Heat recovery component for an exhaust gas system

A heat recovery component for an exhaust gas system of an internal combustion engine, the heat recovery component comprising:

• an inlet for exhaust gas to enter the heat recovery component;
• an outlet for exhaust gas to exit the heat recovery component;
• a heat recovery branch conduit, the heat recovery branch conduit comprising a heat recovery branch conduit inlet being in fluidal connection with the inlet of the heat recovery component, a heat recovery branch conduit outlet being in fluidal connection with the outlet of the heat recovery component, and a heat exchanger arranged in the heat recovery branch conduit;
• a bypass branch conduit being in fluidal connection with the inlet and the outlet of the heat recovery component, the bypass branch conduit being separate from the heat recovery branch conduit, the bypass branch conduit allowing exhaust gas flowing through the bypass branch conduit to bypass the heat recovery branch conduit;
• a valve being configured to be rotatable between a heat recovery end position, in which the valve allows exhaust gas to only flow through the heat recovery branch conduit, and a bypass end position, in which the valve allows exhaust gas to flow through the bypass branch conduit, the valve being arranged to be rotatable around a rotation axis located in the bypass branch conduit and not in the heat recovery branch conduit,
• wherein the valve comprises a valve shaft, a bypass valve flap and a heat recovery valve flap, the bypass valve flap projecting radially from opposite sides of the valve shaft,
• wherein the bypass valve flap is configured to open and close the bypass branch conduit and the heat recovery valve flap is configured to open and close the heat recovery branch conduit, and
• wherein the bypass valve flap and the heat recovery valve flap are operatively connected by a support.
