Abstract
A reservoir tank assembly and a heat pump system including the same are disclosed. The reservoir tank assembly may include a reservoir tank configured to remove air contained in a coolant and an adapter fluidly connecting the reservoir tank and a coolant line along which the coolant flows. A part of the coolant flowing along the coolant line is introduced into any one degassing chamber among a plurality of degassing chambers through the adapter. The coolant passing through the plurality of degassing chambers is discharged to the coolant line through the adapter.
