(54)	Regenerative cooling system and driving method thereof

(57) A regenerative cooling system capable of enhancing a cooling operation and capable of prolonging a lifespan thereof by preventing an overload of a compressor, in which cool heat is stored in a regenerative tank by applying a refrigerant used in a cooling operation when a cooling load is low even during the daytime, and then the stored cool heat is utilized when the cooling load is high, that is, when a great amount of cool heat is required indoors, and a driving method thereof.
