A waste heat powered cooling apparatus utilizes a waste heat collector to convert wasted energy into heat stored in water. An evacuated chamber houses a desiccant bed and a sprayer which introduces an adsorbate into contact with a heat exchanger conduit extending within the chamber. Evaporation of the adsorbate in contact with the conduit cools a medium circulated within the conduit between the chamber and a chilled water reservoir. The evaporated adsorbate is adsorbed by the desiccant bed until a predetermined temperature or saturation level is reached, at which point, heated water from the waste heat collector is passed through heat exchanger conduits in the desiccant bed to regenerate the desiccant bed. Iterative adsorption and regeneration cycles maintain the chilled water in a desired temperature range.
