A thermostat element (1) has a housing comprising a bottom (2) and a top (3), which also acts as a guide for a thrust pin (5) movable by a diaphragm (4) in dependence on the thermal expansion of a wax filling (9). An incompressible body (7) is arranged in the bottom (2) and serves to shape the filling (9) into a thin film. By virtue of the relatively large area of the thin film of expandible filling and, its small volume the speed of response of the thermostat element is rapid. <IMAGE> |
