Abstract: A system includes a partition element and a first component which is arranged on a first side of the partition element. The first component includes at least one conductor, and the partition element includes an associated feedthrough for inserting and feeding through the conductor and for electrically contacting the conductor on a second side of the partition element located opposite the first side. The conductor forms a form-fitting connection to the feedthrough and is pressed into the feedthrough.

Abstract: A thermostatic device for selectively opening and closing one of more apertures used for controlling the flow of a coolant fluid includes a housing, at least one fixed element and at least one moveable element. The at least one fixed element is fixedly interconnected to the housing. The at least one moveable is moveably connected to the housing. A fluid path passes through the fixed element and the moveable element. The fluid path is opened and closed in response to movement of the moveable element relative to the fixed element such that when the moveable element is in a first position the fluid path is closed and when the moveable element is in a second position the fluid path is open. A temperature responsive bi-metal element is coupled to the moveable element for moving the moveable element between the first position and the second position.

Abstract: A thermostatic valve mounted within a housing which defines a fluid circuit and wherein an internal valve seat is defined withing the housing, the thermostatic valve including a blocking valve component movable relative to the valve seat for opening and closing the fluid circuit, a thermostatic element for actuating the blocking valve and including a body and a piston that are relative movable with respect to one another and a base to which the piston is mounted, an electrical heating element mounted within the and piston of the thermostatic element for heating expansible material contained in the element, wherein one end of the piston is seated and sealed within a blind hole in the base and the base is seated and sealed within a blind cavity in the housing and which cavity has a bottom wall formed integrally with the housing through with electrical pins extend toward the outside of the housing.

Abstract: A known thermal actuator includes a capsule, which contains a diaphragm controlling the position of a stem. A thermal expansion substance like wax is contained in the capsule which operates as a thermostat in a thermostatically controlled valve such as a thermostatically controlled mixing valve. The stem of the actuator is connected with a valve body movable between two valve seats for a hot and cold medium, respectively, and the capsule is placed in the area of the mixed medium for transmitting the heat of the mixed medium to the thermal expansion substance. In order to present a simple and more effective actuator that can react promptly at changes of temperature and which does not require an extra temperature sensor, the capsule includes an oblong cuplike sensor body, the surface of which is at least partly deformed in such a way that its thermal transmittance area is increased.
