The desiccant assisted air conditioning apparatus can provide a stable operation and a higher energy efficiency. The apparatus comprises a process air passage for flowing process air for dehumidification through a desiccant and for delivery to a conditioning space and a regeneration air passage for flowing regeneration air for removing moisture from the desiccant. An absorption heat pump means for providing cooling heat source for the process air and heating heat source for the regeneration air is provided which comprises an evaporator, an absorber, a generator, a condenser and fluid passages therebetween for forming an absorption refrigeration cycle. The absorption heat pump means is provided with a heat exchanger in a refrigerant passage between the condenser and the evaporator for cooling a refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant passage by heat exchange with a heat transfer medium.
