By means of a set of kinetic equations, we describe nonequilibrium electrons and phonons in a superconductor. We assign expressions for the distribution functions and the relaxation times of the coupled electron--phonon system in various situations. In order to obtain transparent results, we replace the collision operator by a reduced operator which still satisfies the conservation laws. We also investigate systems at low temperatures.
