1. A vehicle temperature control system comprising:
a heater operated electrically and/or with fuel, the heater comprising a first heat exchanger device for transferring heat provided in the heater to a first heat carrier medium provided in a first heat carrier medium circuit;
an operating material tank configured to hold a liquid operating material;
a second heat exchanger device configured to transfer heat between the first heat carrier medium provided in the first heat carrier medium circuit and energy storage material contained in the operating material tank;
a third heat exchanger device configured to transfer heat between the first heat carrier medium provided in the first heat carrier medium circuit and a second heat carrier medium provided in a second heat carrier medium circuit;
a heat pump system associated with the second heat carrier medium circuit;
a cooling heat exchanger device associated with the second heat carrier medium circuit for absorbing heat from air to be introduced into a vehicle interior flowing through the cooling heat exchanger device in a cooling operation of the heat pump system;
a heating heat exchanger device associated with the second heat carrier medium circuit for transferring heat to air to be introduced into the vehicle interior flowing through the heating heat exchanger device in a heating operation of the heat pump system, wherein the heat pump system is configured to transfer heat in an area of the third heat exchanger device from the second heat carrier medium to the first heat carrier medium in the cooling operation of the heat pump system and to absorb heat in the area of the third heat exchanger device from the first heat carrier medium in the second heat carrier medium in the heating operation of the heat pump system.
