Abstract:
A temperature management method for a hybrid vehicle which includes: a flow rate control valve controlling flow of coolant to an engine, a heater, a heat exchanger, and a radiator; and an exhaust heat recovery device coupled to the flow rate control valve via the heater, the exhaust heat recovery device performing heat exchange between the coolant received from the heater and exhaust gas received from the engine, and supplying the heat-exchanged coolant to the engine, includes: identifying whether the heater is on or off; and identifying at least one of an outside air temperature, a coolant temperature, or an oil temperature and operating the flow rate control valve in a flow stop mode to prevent the coolant of the engine from discharging.
