Abstract
An embodiment refrigerant module of an integrated thermal management system for a vehicle is configured such that a refrigerant circulates sequentially through a compressor, a condenser, a heat exchanger, an expansion valve, an evaporator, and a vapor-liquid separator. The heat exchanger and the expansion valve are disposed below at least one of the condenser and the evaporator, thereby performing heat exchange between the refrigerant discharged from the condenser and the refrigerant discharged from the vapor-liquid separator.
