1. A temperature control device of a vehicle, comprising:
an energy storage device configured to provide an electrical energy supply to at least one of an electric drive unit and an electric consumer of the vehicle;
a first coolant circuit configured to temperature control the energy storage device;
a refrigerant circuit couplable with the first coolant circuit in a heat-transferring manner via at least one refrigerant evaporator;
a second coolant circuit couplable with the refrigerant circuit in a heat-transferring manner via a refrigerant condenser, which is coolable via a coolant;
a coolant cooler for transferring heat between an exterior environment and at least one of the first coolant circuit and the second coolant circuit;
at least one partial section of the first coolant circuit and at least one partial section of the second coolant circuit defined by a shared circuit section;
wherein the coolant cooler is arranged in the shared circuit section;
wherein the coolant cooler is fluidically connectable with at least one of the first coolant circuit and the second coolant circuit via the shared circuit section;
wherein the first coolant circuit includes a bypass for at least partially bypassing the coolant cooler;
wherein the first coolant circuit includes a valve structured and arranged to distribute a first coolant flow to at least one of the shared circuit section and the bypass; and
wherein the valve includes (i) a first outlet connected to the coolant chiller and (ii) a second outlet connected to the bypass.
