The present air conditioning system with ice storing and cooling capacity can generate and store ice in its pipe assembly or in an ice storage tank particularly equipped for the system, depending on the type of the air conditioning system. The system is characterized in particular in that ice can be produced and stored in the air conditioning system whereby the time of supplying cooled air can be effectively extended with the merit that the operation cycle of the on and off of the compressor can be prolonged, extending the operation lifespan of the compressor in one aspect. In another aspect, ice production and storage in great amount can be performed in an off-peak period of the electrical power consumption and the stored ice can be utilized in the peak period of the power consumption so as to provide supplemental cooling capacity for the compressor of the air conditioning system whereby the shift of peak and off-peak power consumption can be effected with ease. The present air conditioning system can lower the installation expense for an ice-storing air conditioning system and can also be applied to an old conventional air conditioning system.

[ I claim:] [1.] An air conditioning system with supplemental ice storing and cooling capacity basically comprising a compressor, a condenser, a dryer, a coolant volume controller, a control unit, a fan motor, an evaporator having a pipe assembly and sensors being characterized by that one said sensor being mounted onto a back-flow pipe of said evaporator for detecting the output temperature thereof, and said detected temperature being compared with a preset temperature by way of said control unit, producing and delivering a corresponding signal to control the on and off of said compressor in combination with the speed variation of said fan motor so as to lowering the temperature of circulated coolant of said air conditioning system and produce and store ice in said pipe assembly of said evaporator in a proper amount whereby as said compressor stops functioning, said fan motor is able to continue delivering cooled air with the help of said stored ice to an enclosed room, prolonging the on/off span of each cycle of said compressor and preventing the moisture accumulated in said pipe assembly from being fed back into said enclosed room.
