ABSTRACT:
A control thermostat is connected to a liquid cooling system of an internal combustion engine. The control thermostat has an inlet housing part, an outlet housing part, both housing parts being connected each other to form a valve passage therein. A thermo-actuator is provided in the valve passage. A valve member is provided on an actuating rod of the thermo-actuator so as to be operated by the thermo-actuator. The inlet housing part and the outlet housing part are connected to coolant passages of the liquid cooling system so that a part of the coolant in the cooling system flows from the inlet housing part to the outlet housing part by passing through the valve passage. The thermo-actuator is arranged so as to close the valve when the coolant temperature in the outlet housing part is higher than a set temperature of the thermostat, and to open the valve when the coolant temperature is lower than the set temperature, so that the temperature of the coolant in the outlet housing part is kept at a constant value during engine operation. A jacket is provided for transmitting heat of the coolant discharged from the outlet housing part to an element of the internal combustion engine to thereby control an operating temperature of the element to a generally constant value during engine operation.
