Abstract
A coolant control valve includes an actuator, at least one valve body, an outer housing, and a temperature sensor having a first flow state and a second flow state. The first and second flow states can be achieved by first and second axial positions of the temperature sensor.
Claims20
A coolant control valve comprising:
- an actuator;
- at least one valve body actuated by the actuator;
- an outer housing having:
- at least one inlet;
- and,
- at least one outlet;
- and,
- a temperature sensor having a first flow state and a second flow state.
5 more elements
A method of operating a coolant control valve, comprising:
- flowing pressurized fluid through the coolant control valve configured with a temperature sensor;
- generating an actuation force that acts upon the temperature sensor, a displaceable body of the temperature sensor subjected to a biasing force in a first axial direction by a first force generator;
- overcoming the biasing force with the actuation force;
- and,
- moving the displaceable body in a second axial direction to a position that forms a passageway that fluidly connects an inner chamber of the coolant control valve to an outlet.
