Abstract

A cooling system for a motor vehicle has an electrical energy storage device for driving the motor vehicle; a chiller through which a refrigeration circuit and, fluidically separated therefrom, a main cooling circuit can flow; one or more control elements; at least one heat source, and one or more ambient air coolers. In a first mode, the control elements form the main cooling circuit such that the main cooling circuit can flow through the chiller, the energy storage device and none of the ambient air coolers. In a second mode, the control elements form the main cooling circuit such that the main cooling circuit can flow through the chiller, the energy storage device and at least one of the ambient air coolers. In a third mode, the control elements form the main cooling circuit such that the main cooling circuit can flow through the chiller, at least one of the ambient air coolers and the heat source.
