Abstract: In a heat exchange unit, a shutter device is disposed on a vehicle front side with respect to a coolant heat exchanger to open and close a passage for traveling air directed toward the coolant heat exchanger. A blower is switchable between a first blowing state in which air flows from the vehicle front side to the vehicle rear side and a second blowing state in which air flows from the vehicle rear side to the vehicle front side. In a case where a switch that makes a vehicle travelable is in an on state, a control unit switches the blower to the second blowing state, while an open degree of the shutter device is set at a closing side from a maximum open degree of the shutter device when a temperature of the engine coolant is equal to or lower than a predetermined temperature determination value.

Abstract: A vehicular cooling device includes a heat medium circuit, a waste heat supply device, a heat exchanger, and a heater. A heat medium circulates in the heat medium circuit. The waste heat supply device is configured to generate a waste heat in accordance with operation of the waste heat supply device and supply the waste heat to the heat medium. The heat exchanger is configured to exchange heat between the heat medium and a lubricant lubricating a transmission of a vehicle. The heater is configured to heat the lubricant that is inside the heat exchanger. According to this vehicular cooling device, since the heater heats the lubricant, the transmission can be warmed up early, and thereby friction in the transmission decreases to improve fuel economy.
