PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a valve device capable of well maintaining the closed state of a passage even if it is used in a high atmospheric temperature when a valve element performs an opening/closing operation. SOLUTION: This valve device 1 comprises an operating shaft 84 having the valve element 86 for opening and closing passages 3 and 3a, a thermally-actuated element 121 opening and closing the valve element 86 by deforming according to temperatures in conjunction with the operating shaft 84, and a seat member 41 installed in the passages 3 and 3a and on which the valve element 86 is brought into contact and from which the valve element is separated. The valve device opens and closes the passages 3 and 3a by bringing the valve element 86 into contact with the seat member 41 and separating the valve element from the seat member. The seat member 41 is formed movable. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
