<p>A temperature responsive fluid flow regulator having a body piece with fluid inlet and outlet passageways and an intermediate fluid chamber. An elastomeric member is disposed within the body piece and is confined therein and has an orifice aligned with the outlet. The member is responsive to temperature changes, and a restraining member confines it such that an increase in temperature causes a reduction in the size of the orifice to thus control the flow of fluid through the regulator. An adjustable needle is also utilized for further controlling the flow through the regulator.</p> |
