I have a question (and I'll freely admit I have little technical knowledge
in this particular area)..
I know that at least some motor home refrigerators have a system whereby
one would heat an Ammonia and water system to produce the cooling
required for the fridge. What would prevent someone from installing
a similar system, say for cooling an average sized mobile home, thereby
having a solar powered central air conditioning system?
 
I live in southern Arizona, where it is usually warm (hot during the
summer). Why not use that heat to produce cooling which would not cost
anything to run all day long if desired? (Please no answers about the
electric company being concerned about losing money, etc.)
I guess one question here would be how much heat would it take to evaporate
the Ammonia combination, another would be whether or not this system would
be self regulating (i.e. when the weather did get cold, the system would
not have enough heat to evaporate the Ammonia, etc and would effectively
shut off.)
Any ideas here??
