THERMAL CONTROL VALVE FOR A FLUID FLOW SYSTEM, IN PARTICULAR, FOR AN ENGINE-COOLING SYSTEM

摘要

The valve has an adjusting unit (38) controlling fluid distribution of a fluid through outlets. A sealing segment (40) surrounds a cylindrical part of the unit (38). The segment cooperates with the unit (38) through common openings (49, 50) for selectively distributing fluid flow in fluid outlet assemblies (20, 22, 24). The segment prevents fluid circulation in the valve in a zero flow position. - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a heat engine cooling system of a motor vehicle including a control valve.
