Disclosed herein is a heat pump system for a vehicle which includes an evaporator mounted on a cold air passageway inside an air-conditioning case, a condenser mounted on a warm air passageway, a first blower mounted at an inlet side of the cold air passageway of the air-conditioning case, a second blower mounted at an inlet side of the warm air passageway and an intake duct mounted between the first blower and the second blower to supply indoor air and outdoor air to the first blower and the second blower respectively, thereby maximizing space efficiency because using just one intake duct for the two blowers, and reducing the size and manufacturing costs of the heat pump system.

Heat pump system for vehicle

Disclosed are a heat exchanger and a method of manufacturing a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger may include a plurality of three-step tubes, each having a three-layered section and each having a liquid passage at a middle portion and module insertion spaces at opposite sides of the liquid passage, a plurality of thermoelectric modules inserted into the module insertion spaces, a plurality of cooling fins coupled to an outer surface of each of the three-step tubes, and an upper tank and a lower tank coupled to an upper side and a lower side of the three-step tubes to be fluidically communicated with the liquid passages of the three-step tubes. The three-step tubes and the cooling fins may be stacked laterally with respect to each other. The three-step tubes, the cooling fins, the upper tank, and the lower tank may be brazed by a same filler material comprising a metal.
