Abstract

A cooling method and a system therefor to remove sensible heat of a whole room to be cooled installed with a cooler of an absorption refrigerator utilizing a heating medium, and to dehumidify air of the room by utilizing thermal energy of the heating medium for regenerating the dehumidifying function of the dehumidifier. The cooling system includes an absorption refrigerator utilizing a heating medium heated by solar heat, a cooler having a relatively large panel area exposed to a room, a dehumidifier for dehumidifying indoor air by utilizing the thermal energy of the heating medium heated by solar heat, and an outlet element for blowing dehumidified air coming from the dehumidifier to the cooler.
