A cooling circuit arrangement includes first and second closed cooling circuits. Each closed cooling circuit has a heat source, a pump and a radiator. By way of the first pump of the first circuit, a coolant can be conveyed to the first radiator and from the first radiator to the first heat source and from the latter to the first pump. By way of the second pump of the second circuit, a coolant can be conveyed to the second radiator and can be conveyed from the second radiator to the second heat source and from the latter to the second pump. Downstream of the first pump and of the second pump, there is provided a first fluidic connection which is controllable by a first valve. Upstream of the first pump and the second pump, there is provided a second fluidic connection which is controllable by a second valve.
