Thermal management system for a vehicle

A thermal management system for a vehicle, having:

• a cooling medium circuit, further comprising:
• a cooling medium pump for delivering a cooling medium in the cooling medium circuit for cooling a brake, and/or a component of an electric drive motor of the vehicle and/or a transmission, of the vehicle;
• and
• a heating medium circuit, further comprising:
• at least one heating medium pump for delivering a heating medium in the heating medium circuit for cooling and/or heating a battery and/or power electronics and/or a charging device and/or another component of the electric drive motor of the vehicle and/or for heating an interior of the vehicle, by a heat exchanger;
• a heat transfer device for exchanging heat between the cooling medium in the cooling medium circuit and the heating medium in the heating medium circuit;
• at least one temperature recording unit, which is adapted to record an interior temperature of the interior of the vehicle and/or a battery temperature of the battery;
• at least one manifold valve, by which an amount of heating medium delivered to the battery and/or an amount of heating medium delivered to the power electronics and/or an amount of heating medium delivered to the charging device and/or an amount of heating medium delivered to the other component of the electric drive motor of the vehicle and/or an amount of heating medium delivered to the heat exchanger is set;
• and
• a control unit, which is adapted to drive the at least one manifold valve in such a way that the heating medium is delivered to the battery when the battery temperature is less than a predefined battery temperature threshold value, and/or to drive the at least one manifold valve in such a way that the heating medium is delivered to the heat exchanger when the interior temperature is less than a predefined interior temperature threshold value;
• wherein the control unit is adapted, during a braking process of the vehicle, to drive the brake in order to brake the vehicle by actuating the brake when the battery temperature is less than the predefined battery temperature threshold value and/or the interior temperature is less than the predefined interior temperature threshold value.
