Propane is actually a very good refrigerant if you find a way to ignore the whole “if I get a little too warm I fucking explode” part of it
Used to chill soda cans by dumping a little liquid propane on them when we had tanks to vent at work, takes like 5 seconds direct contact to freeze a can
No, there are absolutely propane POWERED refrigerators. Propane goes in, the fridge burns the propane, some goddamn troll physics happen and the inside of the box gets cold. It’s called the absorption cycle and they’re commonly found installed in RVs.
I’ve attempted to understand how this works; it has something to do with boiling ammonia out of water and then re-dissolving it. It’s a refrigeration cycle with no moving parts that runs on a sufficiently hot source of heat. Some also have electric heaters for when you have abundant electricity to save propane.
Not powered, funny as that would be
