PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a temperature regulator having improved efficiency for regulating a temperature of a power storage device.SOLUTION: A temperature regulator 100 comprises: a heat exchanger 110 for implementing heat exchange between a battery 400 and a refrigerant; a cooler 30 cooling a PCU 700 with the refrigerant; and a four-way valve 60. The heat exchanger 110 is arranged at a position higher than the cooler 30 in a state in which an electric vehicle is arranged on a horizontal surface. A condenser (heat exchanger 15) is arranged at a position higher than the heat exchanger 110 in a state in which the electric vehicle is arranged on the horizontal surface. A controller 70 switches the four-way valve 60 after predetermined conditions indicating that the refrigerant moves from a second refrigerant path near the condenser (heat exchanger 15) to a first refrigerant path near the cooler 30 are satisfied when an electric vehicle operation stop command is input while the four-way valve 60 is set in a second state. |
