TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT DEVICE FOR VEHICLE-MOUNTED HEAT-GENERATING EQUIPMENT AND VEHICLE AIR CONDITIONER PROVIDED WITH SAME
A temperature adjustment device for vehicle-mounted heat-generating equipment is provided which, without cooling units respectively corresponding to low heat-generating equipment and high heat-generating equipment mounted on a vehicle, enables temperature adjustment of each heat-generating equipment to be executed without hindrance. The temperature adjustment device adjusts the temperatures of a battery 55 and a motor 65 for running both mounted on the vehicle, and includes a heat medium circulation circuit 60 for circulating a heat medium to the battery 55 and the motor 65 for running, and a refrigerant-heat medium heat exchanger 64 for cooling the heat medium circulated through the heat medium circulation circuit 60. The heat medium cooled in the refrigerant-heat medium heat exchanger 64 flows through the battery 55 and then flows to the motor 65 for running.
