As Gary points out, and far as I have been able to figure out, the bypass
passage is open when the engine is cold, the idea being that by "short
circuiting" the radiator the coolant in the heater and bypass passage will
warm up more quickly and the heater will produce heat more quickly.
We had a slew of the "shrouded " type thermostats that I bought when Smiths
Canada closed down. The part number was 43570/28 and we used to sell them
to customers who reported overheating problems.
I stopped promoting them as a potential solution to overheating issues
after being taken to task by a customer who did an extensive study of the
issue and proved, at least to my satisfaction, that they improved cooling
not one iota.
