Abstract
The thermostat device includes a housing including a first flow inlet that receives a coolant from a radiator, a second flow inlet that receives a coolant through a bypass passage, and a flow outlet of coolant in which each coolant is mixed; a thermo-element that is accommodated in the housing and moves in an axial direction depending on a temperature of the coolant from the second flow inlet; a control valve that controls amount of the coolant introduced from the first flow inlet as the thermo-element moves; a valve seat that is formed at a tip portion of an annular protrusion formed to protrude in a moving axis direction of the thermo-element in the housing and with which the control valve is in contact in a valve-closed state; and an annular groove formed by an annular gap provided outside of the valve seat and continuous in a circumferential direction.
