Abstract
A heat pump air conditioning system having an outside heat exchanger which is disposed in an engine compartment of a vehicle is provided. The outside heat exchanger consists of a first outside heat exchanger disposed forward of an engine and a second outside heat exchanger disposed near the engine except the front, especially rearward of the engine. When heating the passenger compartment, the second outside heat exchanger acts as a heat absorber, utilizing the heat of the engine, and effectively heating the interior.
