Abstract

See full text

Fluid flow control valve comprising a tubular body extending in a longitudinal direction with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet situated respectively at the two longitudinal ends of the body, the valve comprising a nozzle and a piston connected to the body, the piston being housed in the body, the nozzle being made up of a part provided with a fluid passage having a calibrated dimension, the passage emerging at one end of the nozzle and forming a seat, said seat being situated against a terminal end of the piston forming a shutter preventing the flow of fluid in the closed position of the valve, the piston comprising a body defining a passage for the fluid in the body for the flow of the fluid between the inlet and the outlet, the body of the valve consisting of a material having a different expansion coefficient from the piston or the nozzle, the valve comprising a heating member which, depending on the heating power delivered, makes it possible to separate the end of the nozzle and the piston by differential expansion, to allow the flow of fluid between the inlet and the outlet in an open position of the valve, characterized in that the terminal end of the piston comprises a ball that is crimped into the body of the piston.
