Abstract
A thermal management arrangement for vehicles includes a refrigerant circuit having a chiller function and/or heat pump function and a heat carrier network for cooling and/or heating components of the vehicle. The heat carrier network has a heat carrier reservoir and a plurality of heat carrier supply segments fed from the heat carrier reservoir. A separately controlled and regulated ambient heat exchanger supply segment implements a circuit having a central low-temperature ambient heat exchanger and least one heat carrier reservoir.
