The invention discloses a hybrid cooling system that combines a compressor-based cooling cycle with an adsorption chiller to improve energy efficiency through waste heat recovery. Embodiments include a compressor, condenser, heat exchanger, adsorption chiller, dual evaporators, control unit, and optionally a thermal storage unit. Primary cooling is delivered via the compressor, while the adsorption chiller, using solid adsorbents like silica gel, zeolite, or MOFs, generates secondary cooling by utilizing waste heat from the condenser. The adsorption cycle operates under vacuum conditions for enhanced efficiency. The system employs two evaporators: one for primary cooling and another for secondary cooling or thermal storage. A smart control system with real-time sensors and predictive algorithms manages load distribution dynamically to reduce energy use. Suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, the system achieves a COP of at least 0.55 for the chiller and 3.0 overall, offering 20-30% energy savings over conventional systems.
