A vehicle-mounted temperature controller includes a first heat circuit having a heat exchanger for a heat generating device and a first heat exchanger; a second heat circuit having a heat medium flow path of an engine and a second heat exchanger; and a refrigeration circuit having the first heat exchanger to make the refrigerant evaporate and the second heat exchanger to make the refrigerant condense. A circulation mode control device control a circulation mode so that the second heat medium raised in temperature by absorbing heat from the refrigerant at the second heat exchanger flows into the flow path, when the engine is stopped and heat is discharged from the heat generating device to the first heat medium in the heat exchanger for the heat generating device and heat is absorbed from the first heat medium to the refrigerant in the first heat exchanger.

Vehicle-mounted temperature controller

A cooling apparatus of a vehicle driving system for driving a vehicle according to the invention activates a heat pump to cool a hybrid system by cooling medium and flows an engine cooling water in an engine water circulation passage through a condenser to cool the cooling medium by the engine cooling water at the condenser when an engine water circulation condition is satisfied. The engine water circulation condition is a condition that a heat pump activation condition is satisfied, and an engine cooling condition is not satisfied. The heat pump activation condition is a condition that a process of cooling the hybrid system by the cooling medium of the heat pump is requested.
