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