Abstract
A thermal management system of a vehicle includes: a cooling circuit in which cooling water circulates; a heat accumulator storing the cooling water; a flow control valve adjusting a flow rate of the cooling water flowing to the heat accumulator; a radiator; a thermostatic valve adjusting the flow rate of the cooling water flowing to the radiator; a grille shutter adjusting amount of outside air introduced from a front grille into an engine room; a cooling water temperature sensor; a heat radiation control unit supplying the cooling water to the cooling circuit to warm up an engine when the engine is cold; and a heat storage control unit, by controlling opening degrees of the flow control valve and the grille shutter according to a cooling water temperature, supplying from the cooling circuit to the heat accumulator the cooling water whose temperature is raised by heat of the engine.
