Devices and method for regulating cooler flow through automotive transmissions

Abstract

1 Methods and valves for providing a continuous flow of cooler fluid in a fluid circuit of a thermal control system between a cooler and automotive transmission such that free flow of cooler fluid between the cooler and transmission exists at vehicle start- up. Fluid flow to and from the cooler is bypassed in case of pressure increases in cooler 5 lines or pressure differentials, for example cause by a blockage in the cooler, such that the cooler fluid flow bypasses the cooler and continues in the fluid circuit through a thermal element of the thermal control system and back to the transmission. that free flow of cooler fluid between the cooler and transmission exists at vehicle start- 5 1 20 26 21 08 37 31 J ul 2 02 6 3 1 J u l 2 0 2 6 t h a t f r e e f l o w o f c o o l e r f l u i d b e t w e e n t h e c o o l e r a n d t r a n s m i s s i o n e x i s t s a t v e h i c l e s t a r t - 5 2 0 2 6 2 1 0 8 3 7
