A system for providing cooling incorporates a combustion engine (1, 2) equipped with an exhaust heat recovering heat exchanger (3) which is adapted to transfer heat energy to a heat-driven chiller (4) in which cooling can be extracted from one or more heat carrier circuits (8). The cooling thereby provided may be used for cooling of engine charge air or compressor air and/or for providing cooled air for human comfort and/or for goods. Use of heat energy derived from the engine exhaust gas flow can be added to the system. Exhaust or air intake heat exchangers may provide silencing or gas cleaning of air or gas. The system may, e.g., be applied to vehicles. Compact absorption chillers may be used in the system. A method for providing cooling is disclosed.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A system for providing cooling, the system incorporating a combustion engine equipped with an exhaust heat recovering heat exchanger which is adapted to transfer heat energy to a heat-driven chiller in which cooling can be extracted from one or more heat carrier circuits, the system being adapted to combine cooling of charge air or compressor air with air conditioning cooling for human comfort, said heat carrier circuits being controllable to proportion the total cooling energy in optional fractions between air conditioning means and engine charge cooling means.
