Thermal Energy System for Controlling Temperatures of a Vehicle and Vehicle Comprising a System of this Type

A thermal energy system (100) for controlling temperatures of a vehicle, comprising:

• a heat pump (110) with a cooling unit (112) for cooling coolant flow and a heating unit (111) for heating coolant flow, the heat pump configured such that thermal energy from coolant flow to the cooling unit (112) is suppliable to coolant flow to the heating unit (111);
• a plurality of system sections (1SA-5SA) configured to heat and/or cool a respective vehicle section of the vehicle, a first system section (1SA) of the plurality of system sections (1SA-5SA) configured to cool a first vehicle section of the vehicle sections that includes at least one first electronics unit (120), a fifth system section (5SA) of the plurality of system sections (1SA-5SA) configured to cool a fifth vehicle section of the vehicle sections that includes a motor (130);
• and
• a low-temperature conducting path beginning downstream of the cooling unit (112) and a high-temperature conducting path beginning downstream of the heating unit (111), at least one of the high-temperature and low-temperature conducting paths is configured to conduct coolant flow to at least one of the plurality of system sections (1SA-5SA),
• wherein, downstream of the cooling unit (112), the low-temperature conducting path is configured to conduct coolant flow to the first system section (1SA),
• wherein the low-temperature conducting path is configured such that, when conducting coolant flow to the fifth system section (5SA) downstream of the first system section (1SA), the low-temperature conducting path conducts coolant flow to at least one further system section (2SA, 3SA, 4SA) that is configured to cool and/or heat another vehicle section that includes a passenger compartment, a battery, or a radiator, and
• wherein a first one (I) of the high-temperature and low-temperature conducting paths is configured to conduct coolant flow to the heating unit (111), and a second one (II) of the high-temperature and low-temperature conducting paths is configured to conduct coolant flow to the cooling unit (112).
