There might be one out there somewhere. Use to be the first
refrigerators were kerosene fired. The units available to day are
Cervelle ( I think that is the spelling.) much more egfficient that of
old, but definitely a fuel fired refer - with a freezer no less. And
what do you have in the Campers - refers and freezers using the same
principle- except using a gas fire underneath or even an electric coil.
They are ammonia based. So why not have a heat energized refer coil and
a fan on it - instant fuel fired AC. Should work.
