Component module (1) of a
heat pump system for vehicles, in particular battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), which has at least the following components: a compressor with a compressor housing (2) which extends with its body length along a compressor rotation axis (R), a first
heat exchanger (3) and a second
heat exchanger (4) which have a body length greater than a body width, a collecting container (5) for
refrigerant, a fluid distribution device (6) which is designed to influence a
refrigerant flow path,
refrigerant fluid interfaces (3.3, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 7.1, 13),
coolant fluid interfaces (3.1, 3.2, 4.1, 4.2) and refrigerant fluid lines (8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5) which fluidically connect the components to one another, wherein - the first
heat exchanger (3) is oriented with its body length along a first main direction (T1), - the second heat exchanger (4) is oriented with its body length orthogonal to the first main direction (T1) along a vertical direction (V), and - the compressor housing (2) is oriented with its body length along a second main direction (T2) which is offset in a longitudinal direction (L) and parallel to the first main direction (T1), characterized in that the first heat exchanger (3) is designed as an
evaporator (
chiller) for refrigerant, wherein the second heat exchanger (4) is designed as a condenser with an internal heat exchanger for refrigerant.
