Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1076164A1] The unit has a thermostatically-controlled valve (14), whose valve body (16) is pushed closed by a pressure spring (22). The valve body opens an opening (30) as a function of the oil supply quantity and the oil pressure, through which the oil flows back to the suction side (33) of the oil pump (10). The valve has an extension element (26), which opens the valve more slowly with a rise in temperature and more easily in the cold state. An Independent claim is included for a method for using the unit.
