MOTORIZED THERMOSTAT

A motorized thermostat is a type of thermostat used in automotive or truck engines that is electronically controlled and actuated by a small electric motor. It is also sometimes referred to as an electric thermostat or an electronic thermostat.

The opening and closing of the valve are controlled by the vehicle's engine control module (ECM), which receives data from various sensors to determine the optimal operating temperature for the engine.

One of the benefits of a motorized thermostat is that it allows for more precise control of the engine's temperature, which can improve performance and efficiency. It can also help reduce emissions and improve overall engine health.

In addition, some motorized thermostats have a "fail-safe" thermostatic mode that allows them to remain open if there is a malfunction or failure in the system. This helps prevent the engine from overheating and sustaining damage.

Motorized thermostats are becoming increasingly common in modern automotive & truck engines, as they provide more precise control and better performance compared to traditional thermostats.
