A rail-bound vehicle includes an energy storage device having a traction battery and a cooling device for cooling the traction battery using a coolant circulating in at least one coolant circuit. The energy storage device supplies a traction device of the vehicle with electrical energy. At least one air-conditioning device air conditions a passenger compartment of a car of the vehicle using a refrigerant circulating in a refrigerant circuit, and a control device controls the air-conditioning device. The air-conditioning device has a heat exchanger coupling the refrigerant circuit of the air-conditioning device to the coolant circuit of the cooling device of the energy storage device. The control device controls a flow of the refrigerant through the heat exchanger. An energy storage device, an air-conditioning device, an arrangement for cooling a traction battery and a method for controlling the arrangement are also provided.
