<p>The invention relates to a valve (1) which comprises a housing (10) defining fluid inlet and outlet openings (11, 12), as well as a sleeve (20) for controlling the circulation of said fluid through the housing, the movement of said sleeve along the axis (X-X) thereof being controlled by a thermostatic element (40). In order to increase the maximum flow of fluid said valve can take in, the valve also comprises a seat part (30), which is fixedly mounted on the housing (10) and which includes a fluid-tight wall (31), one of the two opposite surfaces thereof extending transversely to the axis (X-X) of the sleeve (20) to define a seat (32) for bearing the sleeve (20) while the other one of said two opposite surfaces defines, between the latter and a wall of the housing (1) in the direction of the axis (X-X) of the sleeve, a free space (V) into which one (11) of the openings (11, 12) leads and through which the fluid flows, being distributed over the entire periphery of the sleeve when said sleeve is in the open position thereof.</p> |
