To provide a temperature controller which can reduce the size and energy consumption of a vehicle by controlling the temperature of a high- temperature type battery by utilizing the exhaust heat of the engine of the vehicle and, in addition, can control the battery to the highest-efficiency temperature with high accuracy.
A temperature controller is provided with a heat exchanger 11 which removes exhaust heat from the engine 3 of a vehicle, a heating loop K constituting the circulating passage of a coolant which transports the heat of the heat exchanger 11 to the high-temperature type battery 5 of the vehicle, and a radiator 9 which cools the battery 5. The temperature controller is also provided with a cooling loop R which constitutes the circulating passage of the coolant which transports the heat of the battery 5 to the radiator 9 and is connected to the heating loop K to have a common passage C and first and second flow control valves 60 and 61 which are respectively installed to the heating and cooling loops K and R.
