A thermal management system for a vehicle including an engine and a transmission can include a radiator, first and second heat exchangers, a control valve and a bypass valve. The radiator can be configured for fluid communication with the engine. The first heat exchanger can be configured for fluid communication with the transmission. The control valve can be configured to selectively communicate a source of relative warm engine fluid or a source of relative cool engine fluid to the first heat exchanger in order to warm or cool the transmission fluid, respectively. The second heat exchanger can be configured to exchanger heat between the transmission fluid and the ambient fluid external to the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The by-pass valve can be configured to selectively direct transmission fluid into or to by-pass the second heat exchanger.

An air conditioner for a vehicle includes: a pump configured to take in and discharge a heat medium; a first heat medium/air heat exchanger disposed to regulate a temperature of ventilation air blown into a vehicle interior by conducting sensible-heat exchange between the ventilation air and the heat medium circulated by the pump; a first heat transfer device having a passage through which the heat medium flows and disposed to conduct heat transfer with the heat medium circulated by the pump; a heat medium temperature regulator disposed to regulate the temperature of the heat medium circulated by the pump; and a heat exchanger regulator disposed to regulate a heat transfer amount with the heat medium in the first heat transfer device or heat exchange capability of the first heat medium/air heat exchanger such that a temperature associated with a temperature of the ventilation air regulated by the first heat medium/air heat exchanger approaches a first target temperature.
