Abstract
A cooling arrangement for a WHR-system in a vehicle, includes a first cooling circuit including a first radiator in which a circulating coolant is cooled, and a second cooling circuit including a second radiator in which a coolant is cooled to a lower temperature than the coolant in the first radiator. A condenser inlet line directs coolant from one of the cooling circuits to a condenser to provide cooling for a working medium flowing therethrough. A cooling adjusting device adjusts the temperature of the coolant in the inlet line to the condenser by the coolant in the other cooling circuit based on information received about the coolant such that the coolant in the condenser inlet line provides the estimated suitable cooling of the working medium in the condenser.
