Patent attributes
A thermostatic valve includes a hollow body, two openings opening into the body and being hydraulically connected by a pass section, and a shut-off component arranged partially in the pass section and having a thermostatic actuator, a return component, a valve capable of opening the first opening when actuated by the thermostatic actuator and of closing the first opening when returned by the return component. The thermostatic actuator includes a cylinder containing an expansion material and a stem defining an axial direction. A relative movement between the cylinder and the stem along the axial direction occurs under the action of the expansion material. The stem bears at an ends against an abutment element, which is movable under the action of movement component in the direction of the cylinder to allow the opening of the first opening when the temperature of the expansion material is below the threshold temperature.
