Compressor module

A compressor module for a heat pump cycle including component devices, the compressor module comprising:

• a compressor configured to suck, compress, and discharge a refrigerant;
• a channel forming member configured to define therein a plurality of internal refrigerant channels through which the refrigerant flows;
• and
• a cover member configured to define a housing space of a housing, which houses the compressor, together with the channel forming member, wherein
• the housing is provided therein with a compressor-side inlet and a compressor-side outlet communicating to the internal refrigerant channels,
• the housing is provided with an outside connection port outside of the housing space and communicating to the internal refrigerant channels,
• the compressor has a refrigerant discharge port coupled to the compressor-side inlet, and a refrigerant suction port coupled to the compressor-side outlet,
• the outside connection port is configured to be connected to inflow and outflow sides of external component devices disposed outside the housing space, in the component devices of the heat pump cycle,
• the compressor is fixed to the channel forming member through a vibration insulating member,
• the channel forming member is configured to define a part of a high pressure-side refrigerant device of the component devices of the heat pump cycle, in which a high pressure-side refrigerant of the heat pump cycle flows, and
• the vibration insulating member is made of a material having a thermoplasticity and is disposed to be heated by the high pressure-side refrigerant in the high pressure-side refrigerant device.
