Abstract
It is proposed a thermal management system for a fuel cell vehicle comprising: a first cooling circuit filled with a first coolant, having at least a first pump, a second cooling circuit filled with a second coolant, having at least a second pump, a third cooling circuit filled with a third coolant, having at least a third pump, wherein the first, second and third cooling circuits are fluidically independent from one another, wherein there is provided at least a selective heat exchanger arrangement, for selectively coupling thermally the third cooling circuit with the first cooling circuit and/or with the second cooling circuit, under predefined conditions.
