A temperature regulation system configured for use on a vehicle, the temperature regulation system comprising:
- a heat exchanger configured to transfer heat between a first fluid and a second fluid, the heat exchanger including an input section configured to receive the first fluid and the second fluid, a heat transfer section configured to transfer heat from the first fluid to the second fluid, and an output section configured to distribute the first fluid and the second fluid;
- a cooling unit configured to decrease heat at one or more temperature regulation location on the vehicle, the cooling unit including a cooling line in communication with the heat exchanger;
- a reservoir arranged on the cooling line, the reservoir being configured to receive the first fluid from the output section of the heat exchanger, the reservoir being configured to store the first fluid;
- one or more tank arranged on the cooling line, the tank being configured to store the second fluid;
- and
- a control unit configured to control operation of the cooling unit;
- wherein, operation of the cooling unit includes the first fluid and the second fluid being directed to the cooling line.
