Abstract
A method for operating a vehicle cooling system includes generating, via a main cooling unit, a main cooling air flow passing through a first heat exchanger arrangement in a main cooling path; generating, via a secondary cooling unit, located upstream in the main cooling path, a secondary cooling air flow passing through a second heat exchanger arrangement in a secondary cooling path branching off upstream in the main cooling path; in a first operating mode, operating, via a control unit, both the main cooling unit and the secondary cooling unit in order to generate mutually independent cooling air flows; and, in a second operating mode, operating, via the control unit, the main cooling unit and setting the secondary cooling unit to one of a stationary and an idle operating state.
