A heat control device (1) comprises: a radiator (12) that cools cooling water for cooling a vehicle engine (11); a transmission (13) that transmits the power generated at the engine (11); an air-cooling type oil cooler (14) that cools the transmission oil for cooling the transmission (13) by heat exchange with the air outside the vehicle; a water-cooling type oil cooler (15) that cools the transmission oil by heat exchange with the cooling water; and a flow path switching unit (16) that switches between causing the transmission oil to flow into the air-cooling type oil cooler (14), or causing the transmission oil to flow into the water-cooling type oil cooler (15).

A heat exchanger includes a core and a header tank. The header tank includes a partition, a first inlet pipe, and a second inlet pipe. The partition divides an inside passage of the header tank into a first tank and a second tank. The first inlet pipe introduces a first fluid into the first tank. The second inlet pipe introduces a second fluid into the second tank. The first inlet pipe is inclined at a predetermined angle except a right angle relative to an outer surface of the header tank such that a flow direction of the first fluid flowing from the first inlet pipe to the first tank includes a component in a predetermined direction from a first end of the first tank provided with the partition to a second end of the first tank opposite to the first end.

A vehicle includes an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine includes an exhaust passage, and a filter for collecting particulate matter contained in the exhaust gas. The vehicle includes a cooling fan for circulating air around a radiator and the filter. A control device of the vehicle executes an accumulated amount calculation process for calculating a particulate matter accumulated amount. The control device executes a regeneration process under a condition that the particulate matter accumulated amount exceeds a specified amount. The regeneration process is a process for regenerating the filter when the particulate matter collected on the filter is combusted. The control device executes a fan drive process for driving the cooling fan. When the regeneration process is being executed, the control device executes the fan drive process regardless of a coolant temperature under a condition that a vehicle speed is smaller than a specified speed.
