(88) FIG. 3 illustrates an operational state diagram for a case in which a gas-liquid separator is operated and a battery module is cooled in a cooling mode of a vehicle in a heat pump system for the vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

(89) Referring to FIG. 3, when the gas injection device 30 is operated in the cooling mode of the vehicle, the first expansion valve 33 expands the refrigerant supplied through the supply part 32 to the gas-liquid separator 31.

(90) Herein, the supply line 37 is opened. The gas-liquid separator 31 may supply the gaseous refrigerant among the refrigerant introduced into the compressor 10 through the opened supply line 37.

(91) That is, the gas injection device 30 flows the gaseous refrigerant heat-exchanged while passing through the gas-liquid separator 31 back into the compressor 19 through the supply line 37, thereby increasing the flow rate of the refrigerant circulating in the refrigerant line 11.

(92) At the same time, the second expansion valve 34 may expand the refrigerant supplied from the gas-liquid separator 31 through the discharge part 36 to flow into the refrigerant connection line 21 connected to the chiller 20.
