Abstract
In order to appropriately control the temperature state of multiple equipment having differing management temperatures, while preventing complication of the apparatus structure, a cooling apparatus for a hybrid vehicle is provided with a seventh flow pathwhich flows coolant which has flowed only through a main flow pathof a radiatorto a water jacketvia a first thermostatwhich has an induction temperature set relatively high; an eighth flow pathwhich flows coolant which has flowed through the main flow pathand a sub flow pathof the radiatorto the water jacketvia a second thermostatwhich has an induction temperature set relatively low, and also supplies the coolant to a PDUand a downverter; and a bypass flow pathwhich connects a fifth flow pathwhich supplies coolant discharged from the water jacketto the radiator, and a position of the eighth flow pathon a downstream side of the second thermostat
