PURPOSE: A flow rate control valve is provided to reduce a hot-water supply period and cold water consumption by reducing the water heating time in the initial drive time. CONSTITUTION: A fluid inlet(112a) and a fluid outlet(113a) are formed on the both ends of a valve body(110) with a valve room. The valve room and fluid inlet/fluid outlet are connected in order to form a first fluid path. The disk member opens and closes the flow path connected to the first fluid path. A second fluid path(122a) passing through the fluid of lowest flow which is necessary for the drive of the sensor sensing the warm water is formed in the body. An expansion or contraction member is expanded or contracted according to the temperature of the fluid passing through the first fluid path. The one end of a bottom disk(121) is fixed to the valve body. An upper disk(122) is assembled in the other end of the bottom disk. |
