Abstract: Valve for a cooling system. A valve (1) comprising: a first port (3), a second port (4), and a fluid path extending between the ports (3, 4); a plunger (5) situated in the fluid path, the plunger (5) being selectively and linearly movable between a closed position which closes the fluid path and an open position which opens the fluid path between the first port (3) and the second port (4); a valve seat assembly (6) situated in the fluid path between the first port (3) and the second port (4), the valve seat assembly (6) comprising: a gasket (12), a frame (13) having a seat (15), and an adaptor (14a-14e); wherein the gasket (12) is different from the adaptor (14a-14e) and is different from the seat (15) and is interposed between the adaptor (14a-14e) and the seat (15).

Abstract: Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a valve comprising: a first port; a second port; a fluid path extending between the first port and the second port; a valve member situated in the fluid path, the valve member selectively moveable between a closed position, blocking the fluid path, and an open position; an armature coupled to the valve member and having a surface; and a solenoid forming a linear actuator with the armature. At least a portion of the surface of the armature directly faces the solenoid.
