A heat accumulating unit includes an upstream heat accumulator and a downstream heat accumulator each accommodating a supercooling heat accumulating material. Each of the upstream heat accumulator and the downstream heat accumulator has a channel in which fluid flows. In heat accumulation of the supercooling heat accumulating material, the channel of the upstream heat accumulator and the channel of the downstream heat accumulator are set in a serial connection state by a serial connection pipe. In a temperature rise mode, fluid that has passed through the channel of the upstream heat accumulator flows in a bypass pipe.

A cooling circuit for a vehicle includes a single cooler, a refrigeration machine, a first heat-generating device, a second heat-generating device, a coolant pump arrangement configured to pump a coolant, a valve arrangement, and an electronic control module. The first heat-generating device requires the coolant at a first coolant temperature level. The second het-generating device requires the coolant at a second coolant temperature level. The valve arrangement is configured to supply the coolant from the first and second heat-generating devices to the refrigeration machine and/or to the single cooler. The electronic control module is designed to control a temperature of the coolant at coolant inlets of the first and second heat-generating devices by varying flow rates of the coolant through the refrigeration machine and/or the single cooler.

An electric auxiliary heating system for a natural gas powered vehicle having a natural gas engine is provided to maintain a cab temperature upon cessation of operation of the natural gas engine. The present system selectively circulates previously heated coolant to an existing cab heating circuit to maintain a desired cab temperature, wherein upon the coolant temperate cooling to a predetermined temperature the auxiliary heating system initiates heating with electric heaters in a reservoir to provide heating of the coolant. A controller provides for the initiation and termination of the auxiliary heating corresponding to selected predetermined thresholds as well as a sensed oil pressure generated by the natural gas engine.
