Solenoid valve for a coolant circuit

A solenoid valve for a coolant circuit, comprising:

• a valve body with an inlet and at least a pair of coolant outlets, each said outlet formed by a capillary tube;
• a valve member in said valve body displaceable between two positions corresponding to two switching positions of the solenoid valve;
• the dimensions of each said capillary tube are sized such that when coolant passes through the valve, the pressure drop between a beginning and an end of each said capillary tube is a multiple of the pressure drop between said valve body inlet and the beginning of said capillary tube;
• a longitudinal coil for generating a magnetic field in the longitudinal direction in said valve body for shifting said valve body between said two switching positions;
• said valve body arranged outside said longitudinal coil;
• a housing having opposite end walls, each said end wall including a cutout and said valve body mounted therein;
• and
• at least one cover section mounted on said housing and closeable over said valve body to retain said valve body in said housing.
