An embodiment heat exchanger includes a first flow path through which a refrigerant discharged from a condenser and drawn into an expansion valve flows and a second flow path through which the refrigerant discharged from a vapor-liquid separator and drawn into a compressor flows, wherein the heat exchanger is configured to perform a heat exchange between the refrigerant flowing through the first flow path and the refrigerant flowing through the second flow path.

Heat exchanger and refrigerant module of integrated thermal management system for vehicle including same

A refrigerant module of an integrated thermal management system of a vehicle is provided in which components of the module may be compactified by modularizing the components related to a refrigerant. In the refrigerant module of the integrated thermal management system for the vehicle in which the refrigerant module is configured such that a refrigerant circulates through a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, an evaporator, and an accumulator, the refrigerant module includes the compressor having a first suction port and a first discharge port, the condenser having a second suction port and a second discharge port, the expansion valve having a third suction port and a third discharge port, the evaporator having a fourth suction port and a fourth discharge port, the accumulator having a fifth suction port and a fifth discharge port, and a connection passage enabling the refrigerant discharged from the accumulator to flow to the compressor.

Refrigerant module of integrated thermal management system for vehicle

An integrated thermal management system for a vehicle may make refrigerant-related components compact by modularizing the refrigerant-related components. A refrigerant module of an integrated thermal management system for a vehicle according to an exemplary embodiment includes: a compressor having a first inlet port through which the refrigerant is introduced, and a first outlet port through which the compressed refrigerant is discharged; a condenser having a second inlet port through which the refrigerant discharged from the compressor is introduced, and a second outlet port through which the refrigerant, which has performed heat exchange, is discharged; an expansion valve having a third inlet port through which the refrigerant discharged from the condenser is introduced, and a third outlet port through which the expanded refrigerant is discharged; an evaporator having a fourth inlet port through which the refrigerant discharged from the expansion valve is introduced, and a fourth outlet port through which the refrigerant, which has performed heat exchange, is discharged; an accumulator having a fifth inlet port through which the refrigerant discharged from the evaporator is introduced, and fifth outlet port through which the refrigerant, which has separated into a liquid refrigerant and a gaseous refrigerant, is discharged; and a connection body configured to integrally connect the compressor, the condenser, the evaporator, and the accumulator and having a flow path through which the refrigerant discharged from the accumulator flows to the compressor.
