Abstract
A cooling system for a hybrid vehicle may include: a cooling module disposed on a front side of a vehicle and including a cooling fan; an engine cooling apparatus configured to cool an engine and including a first line connected to the cooling module and through which a first coolant flows; an intercooler provided in the engine; and an electrical component cooling apparatus including a water pump and a second line through which a second coolant flows. An electrical component, the cooling module and the water pump are connected through the second line. The cooling system further includes a controller to control the operation of the cooling fan and the water pump, and the intercooler is provided on a branch line connected to the second line to circulate the second coolant and disposed in parallel with the electrical component through the branch line.
