Original Abstract Submitted

A heat pump system for a vehicle is provided to improve cooling and heating performance by applying a gas injection device selectively operating during air conditioning of a vehicle interior by increasing a flow rate of the refrigerant circulating in a refrigerant line of the heat pump system. The heat pump system for a vehicle may include: a compressor, a first condenser, a receiver dryer, a second condenser, an evaporator, a gas injection device, a refrigerant connection line, and a chiller. The flow of the refrigerant is controlled according to at least one mode for adjusting a temperature of a vehicle interior or adjusting a temperature of a battery module.
