The thermostat valve is for a cooling circuit in an internal combustion engine and has two activating components (6,7) containing expansion material arranged in the same housing (8). This housing is arranged in a through passage in the wall of the valve housing (1) in such a manner that the first activating component which opens and closes the valve dependent upon the fluid temperature is arranged within the valve housing. The other activating component, by means of e.g. electrical heating (16) of the expansion material from the exterior, can activate the normal position of the valve and is arranged outside the valve housing. |
