Abstract (en)

The pan has a bimetal spring or a wax extension element serving as a connection element to control temperature. A separately-switchable oil volume is connected and disconnected depending on the temperature by an electrical actuator. An end of the bimetal spring closes or opens an outlet in the oil volume. The oil volume is connected and disconnected by an electrical actuator signal. The electrical actuator is controlled and regulated by a motor control device. A signal is supplied by an oil sensor in the pan or by a separate temperature sensor as an input variable to the pan.
