According to one embodiment of the present invention, a temperature control device is provided with: a heat medium circuit through which a heat medium flows; a motor that drives the vehicle; a battery that supplies power to the motor; and a cooler that captures heat from the heat medium. The heat medium circuit includes: a first loop that circulates the heat medium through the motor and the cooler; a second loop that circulates the heat medium through the battery; a third loop that circulates the heat medium through the motor, the battery, and the cooler; a first switching unit disposed between the first loop and the second loop; and a bypass path capable of bypassing the cooler. The first switching unit is capable of switching between a first mode in which the first loop and the second loop are separated and a second mode in which the first loop and the second loop are connected to form a third loop. A valve capable of adjusting the ratio of the flow rate of the heat medium passing through the cooler to the
