A temperature control device of a vehicle may include an energy storage device, a first coolant circuit configured to temperature control the energy storage device, a refrigerant circuit, at least one refrigerant evaporator, a second coolant circuit, a refrigerant condenser, and a coolant cooler for transferring heat to an exterior environment. At least one section of the first coolant circuit and at least one section of the second coolant circuit may be defined by a shared circuit section. The coolant cooler may be fluidically connectable with at least one of the first coolant circuit and the second coolant circuit via the shared circuit section. The first coolant circuit may include a bypass for at least partially bypassing the coolant cooler. The first coolant circuit may include a valve device structured and arranged to distribute a first coolant flow to at least one of the shared circuit section and the bypass.
