 note = {A room-cooling system of 2 kW capacity fueled by wood pellets was designed, built and tested. The system was demonstrated during 
summer at the Yakushima Field Station of Kagoshima University, Japan. It contained a pellet feeder, a pellet burner, a heat exchanger, a 
lithium bromide.water absorption heat pump and a control unit. The volume of the test room was 36.9 m3 and ambient temperature 30 °C. 
The airflow temperature from the room unit was decreased to 16 °C by the system, and the room temperature could be successfully 
controlled to 24 °C steady state. Room heating in winter was also demonstrated. Since the air was heat exchanged, the overall energy 
efficiency of the cooling system was low at about 19%. However, the calculation based on the heat flow showed that the efficiency could 
be enhanced to about 75% by direct heating of the regenerator by the flue gas.},
