A fluid system may include a first fluid circuit configured to circulate a first fluid to cool or heat a non-combustion power source of a machine. The first fluid circuit may include at least one of a refrigeration unit to cool the first fluid or a heating unit to heat the first fluid. A cooling capacity of the refrigeration unit may exceed a cooling requirement of the non-combustion power source, or a heating capacity of the heating unit may exceed a heating requirement of the non-combustion power source. The fluid system may include a second fluid circuit configured to circulate a second fluid. The fluid system may include a heat exchanger in the first fluid circuit and in the second fluid circuit. The heat exchanger may be configured to cool or heat the second fluid using the first fluid.
