  • Publication number: 20200325814
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to an electronic thermostat. More particularly, the present invention relates to an electronic thermostat configured to operate a valve by using expansion pressure of a thermally expandable material as a heater generates heat, wherein foreign substances are prevented from being accumulated in a guide cap, thus preventing malfunction of the valve from occurring. The electronic thermostat configured to control flow of a coolant by using a piston reciprocating in response to expansion and contraction of a thermally expandable material includes: a casing; a heater; a guide; the piston; a sealing member; a guide cap; and a valve, wherein the guide cap has a discharge hole formed at a lower end thereof.
