Abstract: A heat pump system in which a heat source is air, and may include: a compressor configured to compress a refrigerant, a first heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between the refrigerant and air, a second heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between the refrigerant and water, a first refrigerant pipe configured to discharge the refrigerant heat exchanged in the first heat exchanger during a defrosting operation for the first heat exchanger, and a second refrigerant pipe configured to guide the refrigerant from the first refrigerant pipe to the second heat exchanger. The heat pump system may further include: a third refrigerant pipe configured to discharge the refrigerant heat exchanged in the second heat exchanger after flowing into the second heat exchanger through the second refrigerant pipe, a first water pipe configured to supply water to be heat exchanged in the second heat exchanger, a second water pipe configured to return the water heat exchanged in the second heat exchanger, a bypass pipe connecting the first refrigerant pipe and the third refrigerant pipe and configured to bypass the second heat exchanger, and a third heat exchanger configured to heat exchange the refrigerant guided by the bypass pipe with the water flowing in the second water pipe, during the defrosting operation.

Abstract: An outdoor unit of an air conditioner, including a cabinet; a heat exchange room inside the cabinet; a component room case at one side of the heat exchange room, including an opening in a first side of the component room case; a component room inside the component room case; an electric component in the component room; a case cover to cover the opening of the component room case; a sealing member between the component room case and the case cover; a duct at a second side of the component room case, and connected to the heat exchange room; and a duct hole in the second side of the component room case connecting the component room case and the duct. The component room case and the duct are configured so that a refrigerant in the component room flows through the duct hole, and then the duct, to outside of the cabinet.
