Thermostat valve regulator for vehicle IC engine - has expanding capsule moving slide to displace valve pin

摘要

The thermostatic control valve has a main body (10) with a piston (12) that moves to control the valve opening. The piston is displaced by the action of a temperature sensitive capsule (21) that causes a slide element (14) to move. The slide has a profiled surface (13) such that a ball follower (15) is displaced. The slide is supported on roller guides (17) to reduce friction and on either side are located coil springs inset into pockets. USE/ADVANTAGE - In cooling systems of IC engine. Compact form.
