Abstract
A flow control valve is provided to adjust the flow rate of coolant and a variable-separation-cooling process at the same time by adjusting the opening degree of the flow control valve. The ports are controlled simultaneously in a variable manner merely by the operation of the flow control valve and thus, a variable temperature control process for increasing the temperature of the entire engine, rapid engine warm-up, and a separated cooling process at the same time is realized.
