A temperature sensor (36) for a first fluid senses a temperature of the first fluid downstream of a heat exchanger (28). A supply for a second fluid changes a temperature of the first fluid. The supply for the second fluid passes through the heat exchanger (28). A valve (30) is positioned upstream of the said heat exchanger (28) on the supply for the second fluid, and controls a flow rate of the second fluid diverted into a bypass line (32) compared to a flow rate of the second fluid directed through the heat exchanger (28), with the three-way valve (30) controlled by a control in response to feedback from said temperature sensor (30). The valve (30) changes the respective flow rates delivered into the bypass line (32) and through the said heat exchanger (28) in a non-linear manner with a change in valve position. A manned spaceship is also disclosed.
