Abstract
A thermal regulation device for a cooling system of an engine that includes a pump positioned upstream from a cooling housing of the engine and at least one consumer requiring permanent cooling. The device includes a main pipe for circulating coolant through the cooling housing and a secondary pipe bypassing the cooling housing. A two-way valve is positioned on the main pipe at the outlet of the cooling housing of the engine, and the secondary pipe includes a tapping on the main pipe downstream from the pump and upstream from a portion of the main pipe used for cooling the engine so that the flow is maintained at a constant and permanent level for ensuring the cooling of the at least one consumer.

11. A thermal regulation device for a cooling system for cooling at least one internal combustion engine, including a pump positioned upstream of a cooling chamber of a crankcase/cylinder block and/or a cylinder head of the engine and at least one consumer requiring permanent cooling, the device comprising:
-
at least one main pipe allowing liquid coolant to circulate through the cooling chamber of the engine; a secondary pipe that bypasses the cooling chamber of the engine; a two-way valve positioned on the main pipe, at an outlet from the cooling chamber of the engine, and wherein the secondary pipe comprises a tapping off the main pipe, downstream of the pump and upstream of a portion of the main pipe that contributes to the cooling of the engine, so that a flow rate is kept constant and permanent to supply the cooling of the at least one consumer. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
