Patent ID: 7730736

Claim:
An air conditioning system for running a refrigeration cycle by circulating refrigerant through a refrigerant circuit provided with a heat-source side heat exchanger and a utilization side heat exchanger and supplying air having passed through the utilization side heat exchanger to inside a building to cope with latent heat load and sensible heat load in the building, wherein the refrigerant circuit is wholly disposed in or outside the building, an adsorption heat exchanger with an adsorbent on the surface thereof and an air heat exchanger disposed in the building for exchanging heat between indoor air and refrigerant are connected as the utilization side heat exchanger in the refrigerant circuit, and the refrigerant circuit alternately creates an adsorption action of allowing moisture in the air to adsorb on the adsorption heat exchanger and a regeneration action of allowing moisture to desorb from the adsorption heat exchanger.
