A sorbent-type air conditioning system which employs conventional refrigeration unit, including a compressor, evaporator, condenser and refrigerant. The cooling and heating effect or energy generated by the evaporator and condenser is the primary source of energy to temperature and moisture condition air and to regenerate or concentrate sorbent which becomes diluted during the moisture conditioning of the air.
