  • Patent number: 11927973
    Abstract: A fluid control device includes a slide valve movable in a chamber along an axis between a closed position, in which the slide valve is pressed axially against a fixed seat, and an open position, in which the slide valve is axially separated from the seat and a thermomechanical actuator, which is able to drive the slide valve depending on the temperature of the fluid in the chamber and which includes both a thermostatic element, including a fixed piston, and a body forming a heat-sensitive part of the thermomechanical actuator, arranged inside the chamber The piston being mounted with the ability to move along the axis on the body so that the piston deploys against the body when the thermally expandable material expands, and a return spring, interposed axially between the casing and the body so as to retract the piston away from the body when the thermally expandable material contracts.

  • Publication number: 20230349482
    Abstract: A thermostatic assembly comprises a casing in which are delimited a chamber where hot and cold fluids mix to form a mixed fluid, a hot fluid inlet, a cold fluid inlet and a mixed fluid outlet. This assembly also comprises a thermostatic element including a thermosensitive body and a piston which move relative to one another along a central axis (X-X) of the chamber as a function of the temperature of the mixed fluid. A spool regulates the temperature of the mixed fluid, being connected to the thermosensitive body to be moved along the central axis in the chamber so as to close, in respective inverse proportions, hot and cold fluid passages which are each delimited, along the central axis, between the spool and the casing. In order to make this assembly more adaptable to various geometries of the installation environment, the spool has a profile that is non-circular.
