1. A reservoir tank, comprising:
a first chamber configured such that coolant circulates through the first chamber or is stored in the first chamber;
a second chamber provided on a side and spaced apart from the first chamber and configured such that coolant having a different temperature from the coolant stored in the first chamber circulates through the second chamber or is stored in the second chamber;
a first partition and a second partition provided in a space between the first chamber and the second chamber to separate the first chamber and the second chamber from each other, and spaced apart from and facing each other; and
a middle chamber defined in a space between the first partition and the second partition and configured such that the coolant from the first chamber or the second chamber circulates through the middle chamber or is stored in the middle chamber, thereby providing a heat buffer between the first chamber and the second chamber,
wherein a baffle plate covering an upper end of the first chamber, the middle chamber, or the second chamber is provided on top of the first partition and the second partition, and gas within the first chamber, the middle chamber, or the second chamber is discharged above the first chamber, the middle chamber, or the second chamber through the baffle plate.
