Abstract

A thermal management system for use in a vehicle in which the coolant flows of the two cooling circuits can be mixed with each other as needed by a multi-way valve at an interface between a first cooling circuit for a battery and a second cooling circuit for an electric motor for driving the vehicle. A vehicle with such a thermal management system is also proposed, as well as a method for operating two cooling circuits of such a thermal management system.
