When heating is requested during HV traveling, the four-way valve of the first circuit is switched to mode 1 (connecting P2 and P3), and the cooling liquid is circulated to the internal combustion engine and the heater core. When heating is requested during EV traveling, the four-way valve is switched to mode 2 (connecting P1 and P3), and heating is performed by using the heat of the electric heater. When switching from mode 1 to mode 2, after switching from mode 1 to mode 3 (connecting P1 and P4 and connecting P2 and P3), switching from mode 3 to mode 2 is performed. The low-temperature cooling liquid that has stayed in the flow path in mode 1 flows into the heater core in mode 2 after being heated by the internal combustion engine in mode 3, so that it is possible to suppress the heating capacity from being temporarily lowered.
A heat management device for a vehicle that includes an internal combustion engine and a traveling electric motor, and is able to perform hybrid vehicle traveling with the internal combustion engine operating and electric vehicle traveling with the internal combustion engine stopped, the heat management device comprising:
