  • the correction module 40 corrects this value so that a minimum useful voltage is effectively applied to the electrode 28 of the controlled thermostat 4 so that the resistance delivers a non-zero calorific power, which makes it possible to preheat the wax 24 to a limit temperature for opening the thermostat 4.
  • any additional heating of the wax 24 in response to a command from the system control to open the thermostat) will immediately open the valve.
  • the correction module 40 also causes a limitation of the useful voltage Vc applied (and therefore of the calorific power delivered by the resistor by the Joule effect) so that the application of this voltage Vc does not cause heating greater than that resulting in total opening of thermostat 4 (i.e. a stroke L equal to the maximum stroke L max ). Additional heating is in fact unnecessary; it is furthermore detrimental to the weather reaction of the system when it is then desired to close the thermostat (since the additional heating of the wax 24 makes its cooling longer, then possibly its solidification).
  • the correction module 40 applies to the controlled thermostat 4 a useful voltage Vc which does not depend on the gross useful voltage V R received from the regulation module 34, but which is chosen to maintain the stroke L at its maximum value L max .
