Temperature management medium distributor for an internal combustion engine comprising - first connection openings for: - at least one engine temperature management circuit for temperature management of the internal combustion engine - at least one lubrication temperature management circuit for temperature management of a lubricant of the internal combustion engine and - at least one further medium circuit for removing from or supplying thermal energy to the internal combustion engine - second connection openings for heat exchangers, with which heat exchangers heat can be exchanged in a pairwise manner between each of the at least one engine temperature management circuit, the at least one lubrication temperature management circuit and the at least one further medium circuit - channel sections to produce fluid connections between the first connection openings and the second connection openings characterised in - that there is provided a first group of the channel sections for the at least one further medium circuit, which, if the heat exchangers are connected, leads a flow of the at least one further medium circuit at first to a heat exchange with the at least one engine temperature management circuit and then to a heat exchange with the at least one lubrication temperature management circuit, and - that there is provided a second group of the channel sections for the at least one further medium circuit, which, if the heat exchangers are connected, leads the flow of the at least one further medium circuit at first to a heat exchange with the at least one lubrication temperature management circuit and then to a heat exchange with the at least one engine temperature management circuit. - first connection openings for: - at least one engine temperature management circuit for temperature management of the internal combustion engine - at least one lubrication temperature management circuit for temperature management of a lubricant of the internal combustion engine and - at least one further medium circuit for removing from or supplying thermal energy to the internal combustion engine - at least one engine temperature management circuit for temperature management of the internal combustion engine - at least one lubrication temperature management circuit for temperature management of a lubricant of the internal combustion engine and - at least one further medium circuit for removing from or supplying thermal energy to the internal combustion engine - second connection openings for heat exchangers, with which heat exchangers heat can be exchanged in a pairwise manner between each of the at least one engine temperature management circuit, the at least one lubrication temperature management circuit and the at least one further medium circuit - channel sections to produce fluid connections between the first connection openings and the second connection openings characterised in - that there is provided a first group of the channel sections for the at least one further medium circuit, which, if the heat exchangers are connected, leads a flow of the at least one further medium circuit at first to a heat exchange with the at least one engine temperature management circuit and then to a heat exchange with the at least one lubrication temperature management circuit, and - that there is provided a second group of the channel sections for the at least one further medium circuit, which, if the heat exchangers are connected, leads the flow of the at least one further medium circuit at first to a heat exchange with the at least one lubrication temperature management circuit and then to a heat exchange with the at least one engine temperature management circuit.
