  • a coolant usually water
  • such a cooling circuit comprises several branches, including a branch that contains a cooling radiator, a branch which constitutes a bypass of the cooling radiator and a branch which contains a radiator, also known as a “unit heater”, that serves to heat the cabin.
  • thermostatic valve which comprises a fluid inlet connected to the outlet of the engine and two fluid outlets which correspond respectively to the branch containing the cooling radiator and to the branch forming the bypass.
  • the valve causes the coolant to circulate through the bypass branch, short circuiting the cooling radiator. As soon as the temperature of the coolant reaches and exceeds the aforementioned threshold level, the coolant passes through the cooling radiator and avoids the bypass branch.
  • the coolant circulates constantly through the branch containing the heating radiator, the heating of the cabin then being obtained by mixing a stream of cold air and a stream of hot air which has swept across the heating radiator. It is also known practice to provide a separate valve on the heating radiator in order to adjust the flow rate of coolant passing through it.

  • a decision may be made to locate the circular tracks 17 on one of the fixed parts of the valve and the plugs 19 on one of the moving parts of the valve.
  • the circular tracks may be replaced by other information transmitting means capable of transmitting data from the upper ends of the sensors to the connector, such as contactless sensors for example, particularly Hall-effect, optical or magneto-resistive sensors.
  • Incorporating the sensors inside the valve allows the operation of the cooling circuit to be monitored and breakdowns to be diagnosed as and when they occur. In a degraded mode, it also allows the operation of the valve to be adjusted.
  • the valve can thus by itself regulate the engine temperature and diagnose any breakdowns of actuators (fan, pump, valve, leak of fluid, etc.) at the computer before the engine overheats.
  • valve of the invention can be embodied in many alternative forms. It is not restricted to a three-way valve as in the embodiments described above. Nor is it limited to an application to a motor vehicle engine cooling circuit.
