A system (S) for regulating temperature and humidity in an enclosure (20), including: a thermal storage (5), a desiccant fluid (F), a second fluid (F′) consisting at least partially of water, wherein the second fluid (F′) includes an equilibrium humidity above the liquid desiccant, and a first and a second trickle element (1, 2), wherein the system (S) includes a first cycle (3), which is configured to supply the desiccant fluid (F) to an inlet (I) of the first trickle element (1), to let the desiccant fluid (F) pass a surface of a heat exchanger (6) for transferring heat between said first cycle (3) and a second fluid cycle (4) containing said second fluid (F′), and to pass back the desiccant fluid (F) to the inlet (I) of the first trickle element (1), wherein in said second cycle (4) the second fluid (F′) is supplied to an inlet (I′) of the second trickle element (2) and a run back (R) is connected to the inlet (I) of the second trickle element (2) after passing the surface of the heat exchanger (6), wherein the second trickle element (2) is designed to allow for evaporation of aqueous constituents out of the second fluid cycle (4), wherein said second fluid (F′) having a reduced temperature is returned to the surface of the heat exchanger (6), and wherein the first and/or second trickle element (1, 2) is configured for exchanging heat and aqueous constituents between air and the desiccant fluid (F).
