The invention relates to a method for operating a
temperature control system (100, 500) with at least one component to be temperature controlled (120, 130, 140, 520, 521, 530, 531, 540, 541), at least one
heat exchanger (150, 550, 551) configured to supply and / or remove heat from a
temperature control medium, and at least one flow control device (110, 132, 143, 152, 510, 511, 570, 552) configured to adjust a
mass flow rate and / or a control ratio of the
temperature control medium, wherein the at least one component to be temperature controlled (120, 130, 140, 520, 521, 530, 531, 540, 541) between a temperature sensor and the flow control device (110, 132, 143, 152, 510, 511, 570, 552) and / or the
heat exchanger (150, 550, 551), characterized by the following process steps: - Measuring the
inlet temperature (Tcool,in) of the temperature control medium using the temperature sensor, - Determining the initial temperature of the temperature control medium (Tcool,out) of the component to be temperature controlled (120, 130, 140, 520, 521, 530, 531, 540, 541) using a thermal component model (200, 300, 410), - Control of the temperature
control system (100, 500) depending on the determined output temperature (Tcool,out).
