Yes, the D-C uses the electronic controller to vary pump flow to accomplish the temperature regulating task.
My point is that on a single action stat system, the stat is an open/close valve. On a double action stat system, the stat acts as both an open/close valve and a diverter valve. In an exxie with no stat in place to act as a diverter, coolant flow will be split between going forward to the rad and recircing back into the engine. Ultimately a large % of coolant will never make it forward to the rad to get cooled off.
Hi Dan,
the thermostat works as per the diagram below. I'm planning to install a Davies Craig EWP (80) and have already modified a spare thermostat housing to suit. Essentially I removed the thermostat and blocked off the opening between the two compartments (indicated by the red line in the diagram) which should result in the same operation as when the thermostat is fully open.
Cheers,
Dom.
