    there have long been refrigerators that work from a gas burner.

    lp gas powered refrigerators in RVs work that way. they have a small burner in the bottom to heat the gas in the coils.

    you could also make a car air conditioner that uses the waste heat from the exhaust manifold to cycle the refrigerant gas instead of using a compressor.

    Einstein was inspired to invent his system because early refrigerators used ammonia as a working fluid & people were occasionally killed from inhaling the fumes if they sprang a leak at night while people were sleeping.
