Abstract
In order to suppress changes in opening level and flow rate associated with the thermal expansion of a resin member caused by a temperature change, a valve device that displaces a valve body by applying drive voltage to an actuator is adapted to include: a position sensor that detects the position of the valve body; a voltage regulator that regulates the drive voltage on the basis of a detected position by the position sensor; and a temperature sensor that detects the temperature of the valve body. In addition, the seating surface of the valve body is adapted to be formed of a resin member, and the voltage regulator is adapted to change the setting value of the drive voltage depending on detected temperature by the temperature sensor.
