A system (1) for controlling, in a marine environment, a thermostatic valve (2) coupled to an electrochemical type of electric power source, the thermostatic valve (2) being provided with: a valve body (4); a first fluid inlet (5a) receiving a hot electrolytic fluid; a second fluid inlet (5b) receiving a cold electrolytic fluid; an outlet (5c) providing a mixed electrolytic fluid, resulting from mixing the hot and cold electrolytic fluids; and an adjusting element (6), which may be controlled to regulate the mixing. A control unit (10) receives a reference temperature signal (T ref ), variable over time, and a temperature measurement signal (T out ) from a temperature sensor connected to the outlet (5c) of the thermostatic valve (2); and executes a control algorithm implementing fuzzy logic for generating a control signal (S c ) for the adjusting element (6), as a function of the reference temperature signal (T ref ), to reduce an error between the temperature measurement signal (T out ) and the reference temperature signal (T ref ).
