Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1835142A2] The valve assembly has a first valve part (46) which is adjustable between two lines (12, 14) as a function of prevailing difference of pressure between two connecting positions. A second bypass flow path (68) makes a temperature-independent flow connection available between the first line (12) and the second line (14) on positioning of the first valve part (46) in the second connecting position. An independent claim is included for a vehicle heating system.
