Abstract
A pair of relay contacts directly connect the electromotor to a battery when closed. One side of the relay coil controlling the contacts is connected to a battery when a thermostat responsive to engine temperature closes. The other side of the relay coil is connected to the battery through an electronic switch, in one embodiment a thyristor, in the other a transistor, which are in the conductive state when the ignition switch is closed. The thyristor further is conductive for one operation following opening of the ignition switch, while the transistor is conductive for a predetermined time period following opening of the ignition switch.
