Abstract:
1. A transmission fluid circuit configured for regulating the flow of a fluid, the transmission fluid circuit comprising: a transmission configured for receiving and expelling the fluid; a cooler configured for receiving and expelling the fluid to the transmission; a valve configured for directing the flow of fluid received from the transmission to one of the transmission and the cooler; wherein the valve includes: a first fluid passage operatively disposed to provide fluid communication between the valve and the transmission; a second fluid passage operatively disposed to provide fluid communication between the housing and the first fluid passage; wherein the fluid is permitted to flow from the cavity to the transmission and from the transmission to the cavity when the spool is in the first position; wherein the actuator permits the fluid to flow from the second fluid passage into the cavity when the actuator is activated such that the fluid in the cavity acts on the spool to move the spool from the first position to the second position; and wherein the fluid is permitted to flow from the cavity to the cooler and from the cooler to the transmission when the spool is in the second position.
