<p>The present invention provides a thermostatically-controlled valve that is very sensitive and, therefore, very responsive to changing temperature conditions. The device comprises a coiled bi-metal strip fixed at one end and whose other end is coupled to a flat plate. The plate rests on a member containing a pair of orifices that are covered or uncovered by the plate as it moves horizontally under the rotational motion of the bi-metal strip. The sensitivity of the device is due to the fact that the plate barely loads the coil.</p> |
