Temperature control apparatus and program for mobile object

A temperature control apparatus configured to control a temperature of equipment in a mobile object comprising:

• a circuit in which a refrigerant flows;
• and
• a controller configured to control operation of the circuit,
• wherein the circuit includes, as constituent elements thereof, an inverter, a motor, pipes, and a valve, the pipes defining flow paths in which the refrigerant flows, the valve being disposed in the pipes and capable of switching among the flow paths,
• the valve is connected to one of the pipes which leads to the inverter, one of the pipes which leads to the motor, and at least one of the remaining pipes,
• the valve is configured to be switchable so as to transport the refrigerant supplied from an upstream side of the valve to at least one of the pipes arranged on a downstream side of the valve, and
• the controller includes a transport control unit configured to, when a heat generation condition is met wherein at least one of the inverter and the motor is capable of heating the refrigerant, control the valve so as to transport the refrigerant, in the flow paths, from the at least one of the inverter and the motor that satisfies the heat generation condition to a transport destination located downstream of the at least one of the inverter and the motor.
