thermocouple de la cire

Explanation:
les sytèmes de régulation de la température de l'eau du moteur font appel à un système à dilatation ressemblant à un régulateur de température de douche : mitigeur.
L'élément régulateur est une cartouche de cire dont la dilatation permet d'entraîner le clapet de régulation.

Ici ce système est en plus associé à un thermocouple de mesure de la température de la cire.
