Heat flow controlling device e.g. electromechanical thermoswitch, for controlling heat flow between two mediums e.g. fuel, has adjusting unit that changes its form based on temperature and consists of shape memory alloy

摘要

The device has an adjusting device (100) that comprises an actuator (106) with an adjusting unit. The adjusting unit changes its form based on temperature, where the adjusting unit consists of a shape memory alloy. The adjusting unit is thermally connected with two mediums (102, 104) provided with different temperatures. The adjusting unit is connected with a temperature sensor and with a container (103) comprising the two mediums.
