Abstract
A cooling system for a combustion engine and a WHR-system in a vehicle (1) includes a first line (23) directing coolant at a first temperature (T1) to a condenser (18) of the WHR system, a second line (24) directing coolant at a second temperature (T2) to the condenser (18), a valve arrangement (25, 26, 29) by which the flow rate of the coolant in at least one of the lines (23, 24) is adjustable and a control unit (20) configured to control the valve arrangement (25, 26, 29) such that the coolant directed to the condenser (18) from the lines (23, 24) has a temperature and a flow rate which results in a cooling of the working medium in the condenser (18) to a predetermined condensation temperature/pressure at the actual operating condition.
