  • Thermostat bypass system
    Patent number: 5803356
    Abstract: A thermostat bypass is formed using the periphery of a flange on the thermostat bearing against an annular inner surface of a housing to form a seal inhibiting fluid flow around the periphery of the thermostat. Movement of the thermostat by means of an axially sliding sleeve pushes the thermostat against a spring bias from the sealed position and permits flow of fluid through the housing and around the periphery of the thermostat into the sleeve to the outlet to thereby bypass the thermostat.
